Blogger

Blogger is a free blogging platform from Google that allows users to create and publish their own blogs with customizable designs and domain options. It provides tools for content creation, audience analytics, and monetization through Google AdSense. Users can share their passions, knowledge, and experiences with a global audience.

Blogger is a strong match for the online publishing platform concept. It provides tools for creating and publishing content, including a rich text editor (implied by 'create a unique and beautiful blog easily' and 'add images & videos to your blog'), and offers analytics for writers ('Know your audience', 'Blogger’s built-in analytics'). While it doesn't explicitly mention a recommendation engine or membership monetization like Medium, it does offer AdSense integration for earning money. It supports user profiles and following (implied by 'Join millions of others' and 'Manage blogs you follow'), tags/topics ('Help people find your blog on search engines'), and mobile access. The core functionality of enabling writers to publish and share content is clearly present.
