Tangental, but twitter is really nice for thoughts like this.

It loads (fast). There's no obnoxious modals or even ads. The whole article's available in plain text. It gives a view/like count. Commenting is frictionless and via a well-established method, and authors often follow up answering questions.

It's my preferred way of reading text on the web. Maybe 2nd to old school personal websites (since they're less likely to get deleted - I don't quite trust twitter to not do that).
