According to this post, "Medium, Twitter, Facebook and others are edge services for your content, they are the platforms where you will find — unfortunately — more readers that on your own URL." This is actually what I do (though my dedication to doing it wavers a bit). The 'home' for my articles is here, downes.ca. But you can also find them on Blogger, LinkedIn and Medium (my last article on OERs was posted on all four). What I'm noticing: each geterates its own audience - the Blogger and LinkedIn posts perform pretty well, Medium has almost zero readers (if you're not promoted by Medium head office, you're nowhere), and downes.ca is somewhere in between. I still do this manually. I'm writing code to automate it (ie., push a button to "publish to...").
