Williams, who previously co-founded <a href="/facts/Blogger_(service)/Uo3cAq9R">Blogger</a> and <a href="/facts/Twitter/VWwDNGUm">Twitter</a>, initially developed Medium as a means to publish writings and documents longer than Twitter's 140-character (now 280-character) maximum.
In March 2021, Medium announced a change in its publishing strategy and business model, reducing its own publications and increasing support of independent writers.
