What have I been reading recently, What I consider about twitter and why blogging is the best.
26 June 2009I have been seeing a lot of great new blogs recently. I am unconvinced about all the twitter bustle. I still enjoy blogs and have a sizeable number in my feed reader.
The point with blogs is that you can find hidden gems, and they are from people that in reality like to put pen to paper.
Sure you can discover some swanky individuals on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for people with add or who dont like to write genuine posts. Yes, heaps of people twitter and also blog, and those individuals are cool by me, but I am incessantly and eternally a blog lover.
Blogs drive the author to actually articluate their notion. Twitter by comparison merely allows you to say it. Call me old fashioned but I imagine 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 point where we see substance matters. Value matters. What do you suppose?
Possibly the solid answer lies in balance. And compromise. You cannot force people to have substance and not be shallow. But, too possibly you need to pressure the neo libral hippies to lighten up a little aswell?
