What have I been reading recently, What I suppose about twitter and why blogging is the best.
I have been reading a lot of great new blogs recently. I am still undecided about all the twitter bother. I still relish blogs and have over 1000 in my feed reader.
The key part of blogs is that you can find hidden jewels, and they are from people that actually like to put pen to paper.
Sure you can find some trendy people on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for masses with attention defecit disorder or who dont like to write longer posts. Yes, rafts of people twitter and also blog, and those individuals are fine by me, but I am perpetually and perpetually a blog fan.
Blogs push the author to in reality articluate their view. Twitter however merely allows you to state it. Call me old fashioned but I consider there is a point where smaller is no longer fresher. We have been obsessed with miniturization for so long. Especially when it comes to technology. Certainly there has to be a place where we figure substance matters. Value matters. What do you believe?
Perchance the practical answer dwells in equilibrium. And compromise. You cannot pressure people to have substance and not be shallow. But, too maybe you need to force the inward looking hippies to lighten up a fraction too?
