If the seeming demise of WritingUp has left you down, then weep no more! From out of the ashes has arisen a site that will be better, stronger and much more reliable. It’s called Communati and its mission is to take the best from WritingUp and leave the worst.
Here’s what founder Mark Whitbeck has to say:
The philosophy about Communati.com, the way it looks, feels, and works, is to introduce something that is familiar while morphing into something completely new.
The best includes recreating that community aspect; leaving the worst means eliminating those darned trackbacks once and for all.
I signed up for Communati and so far, so good. I have already met a couple of old WU friends there and hope to meet more. So far, I am welcoming Communati with cautious optimism.
Check out my posts there. I’m wahmwriter (couldn’t stay away from writing completely, but wanted more freedom to broaden my horizons).
PS. Did I mention that you get 70 per cent of Adsense revenue?

Hello Sharon! Thanks for the link, I’ll have to check it out. And, could you please explain what exactly happened to writingUp? I haven’t been able to access my blog for some time now, but I never heard why the site left for good.
Hi Dana
I wish I knew. I haven’t been able to get into the site for a long time. And there was no word from John or anyone else involved about what was going on.
