95% of blogs are abandoned for the same reason 95% of projects never materialize, which in fact is the same reason 95% of life changes remain new year resolutions: Procrastination.
The Postary announcement states:
Postary - the simplest way to share posts with no strings attached, no obligations and no expectations. Postary reduces the Blog Lifecycle down to step four: if you are inspired to say something, then just post it and share it with the world
Similarly to suggestions for product landing pages, you do not state how Postary will help me with that, i.e. how the procrastination factor is dealt with. Is there gamification? E-mail reminders? Where is the cheese? Expand on that "simplest way" to sell the idea on me.
Additionally, I will not click-through the "Write a post" button since it requires a Twitter account. Why do I need to login to Twitter, assuming I do have a Twitter account, if you haven't convinced me that there is a reason to waste a couple of minutes of my time?
To sum things up, what differentiates you from, say, Blogspot, Tumblr, Wordpress et al? I can "just post it and share it with the world" over there too.
I agree on the Twitter thing - open this up to anyone, let them grab a login with Twitter if they want, have a secret admin url if they want or have no editing ability at all - if they want.
