Anyone can sign up and start writing and publishing Memos, and there's already a bunch of active creators.
I've written over a hundred Memos myself across three profiles:
Tom Butler-Bowdon - psychology, self-help, society, philosophy
TomBB-Business - company origin stories e.g. Amazon, Tesla, Slack
TomBB-Money- personal finance, Bitcoin etc
What's fascinating is that I now feel I don't really know anything unless I've written a Memo on it. For me, retention of knowledge is a key to the platform, because the issue nowadays is not the volume of information, but making sense of it.
Btw if you're interested in the thinking behind Memo'd, check out:
What is the future of writing? - I look into the history of the paragraph, and how text has evolved from blocks of uninterrupted script, to the point form that Memo'd takes.
... and also
Memo'd White Paper, which goes into more depth. Any comments welcomed, just reply to this email.
BOTTOM LINE:
Memo'd is a natural extension of my work as a writer. It's basically the same mission – enabling people to make intellectual or spiritual leaps forward – just in a different medium, and hopefully reaching more people.
I'm also considering a weekly digest of the best or trending Memos, that I will send out to subscribers.
Would you be interested in receiving this? If so, just reply to this email by saying "Best Memos" (or just let me know what you think of the whole Memo'd project).
Thanks!
