The one big issue I see is lack of a small concrete goal.

> Like a blog that allows publishing of content of any size or type (long-form, mirco-updates, videos & photos using oembed, links, quotes) via a single textarea.

Take any one of those things, and you can find entire sites devoted to just that.

A picture is worth a thousand words - so a mockup of the screen layout would be helpful to envisioning this product.

I'm only implementing textual content at the moment (long-form and micro-updates). Think about the textarea like Facebook's status update box: You usually add text, but if you add a link it figures out if it's a video, etc. Think even Twitter's web interface does this now.

Note to self: Finish mocks ASAP.
