What have I been reading recently, What I think about twitter and why blogging is the best.
I have been taking in a lot of great new blogs recently. I am of the opinion the jury is still out about all the twitter bother. I still enjoy blogs and have a substantial number in my feed reader.
The thing about blogs is that you can find hidden gems, and they are from people that in reality like to write.
Sure you can discover some trendy people on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for people with attention defecit disorder or who dont like to write decent posts. Yes, loads of people twitter and also blog, and those people are stylish by me, but I am forever and evermore a blog devotee.
Blogs squeeze the author to actually articluate their notion. Twitter however merely permits you to state it. Call me old fashioned but I think there is a point where smaller is no longer sweeter. We have been obsessed with miniturization for so long. Especially when it comes to technology. Certainly there has to be a point where we get substance matters. Value matters. What do you suppose?
Maybe the solid answer dwells in balance. And compromise. You cannot pressure people to have essence and not be superficial. But, too possibly you need to push the navel gazing hippies to lighten up a bit too?
