What have I been reading lately, What I conceive about twitter and why blogging is the best.
I have been reading a lot of great new blogs of late. I am unconvinced about all the twitter tizzy. I still savour blogs and have a substantial number in my feed reader.
The key part of blogs is that you can find hidden treasures, and they are from people that really like to write.
Sure you can discover some cool people on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for masses with attention defecit disorder or who dont like to write proper posts. Yes, dozens of people twitter and also blog, and those individuals are cool by me, but I am always and perpetually a blog fan.
Blogs drive the author to really articluate their feeling. Twitter alternatively merely permits you to posit 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. Specially when it comes to technology. Certainly there has to be a point where we figure substance counts. Value matters. What do you suppose?
Perhaps the real answer dwells in balance. And compromise. You cannot squeeze people to have essence and not be superficial. But, too perhaps you need to force the inward looking hippies to lighten up a fraction aswell?
