There is something majestic in minimalist writing platforms. They don't have the flashiness and panache of the hydra-like corporate suites but instead they offer different kind of freedom of expression. There are no audience waiting for the show with their tangled set of demands, no code of conduct. You only able to let the thought out into the unknown. And that is so liberating in so many ways. You don't need to think about anything but what you want to express. And then it just goes away. It is a puff of sigh into vast opaque and asinine void - stuck as a cloud frozen endlessly falling down like a rock.
SaidSo.Me is a minimalist writing platform. Basically - it is nothing more but a place where you can leave the text with an option of sharing through Twitter and Facebook or whatever you want. Nice and simple. And also anonymous because personalities don't mean a thing. You can't search for anything on the platform. You can't penetrate it with search engines. You need to keep the link for the text or it will be lost and that probably will not be a great loss. If the post lays dormant for a while - it may be actually be erased. I really like that "may be" - it is very playful.
SaidSo.Me is a throwback to the early days of the web with its rather frustrating communicative and technical limitations. It evokes loneliness and futility. You can scream but you are actually in space and no one can hear it. It is stupid. It is "Edvard Munch - The Scream: The App". I really like it that way.
There is also another way of looking at SaidSo.Me. It is a kind of digital postcards or letters. They can bring far greater level of intimacy to correspondence and that might result in a substantially different kind of development of the relationship. Simply because it feels different from the mundane and morose e-mails.
