What have I been reading of late, What I think around twitter and why blogging is the best.
I have been noticing a lot of great new blogs recently. I am still waiting to decide about all the twitter dither. I still savour blogs and have over 1000 in my feed reader.
The cool thing about blogs is that you can find hidden treasures, and they are from people that really like to put pen to paper.
Sure you can find some swanky souls on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for masses with attention defecit disorder or who dont like to write genuine posts. Yes, heaps of people twitter and also blog, and those individuals are stylish by me, but I am forever and eternally a blog fan.
Blogs pressure the author to actually articluate their judgement. Twitter by comparison merely permits you to posit it. Call me old fashioned but I think there is a point where smaller is no longer better. We have been obsessed with miniturization for so long. Especially when it comes to technology. Surely there has to be a point where we figure substance matters. Value matters. What do you suppose?
Maybe the proper answer dwells in equilibrium. And compromise. You cannot push people to have marrow and not be shallow. But, too maybe you need to drive the navel gazing hippies to lighten up a fraction aswell?
