What have I been reading of late, What I think about twitter and why blogging is the best.
I have been reading a lot of great new blogs lately. I am still undecided about all the twitter fuss. I still enjoy blogs and have over 1000 in my feed reader.
The essence of blogs is that you can find hidden treasures, and they are from people that actually like to put pen to paper.
Sure you can find some fashionable souls on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for masses with attention defecit disorder or who dont like to write genuine posts. Yes, bunches of people twitter and also blog, and those souls are stylish by me, but I am always and forever a blog fan.
Blogs squeeze the author to really articluate their feeling. Twitter by comparison merely allows you to express it. Call me old fashioned but I think there is a point where smaller is no longer nicer. We have been obsessed with miniturization for so long. Peculiarly when it comes to technology. Surely there has to be a place where we recognise substance matters. Value matters. What do you believe?
Perchance the genuine answer lies in balance. And compromise. You cannot force people to have essence and not be superficial. But, too maybe you need to push the inward looking hippies to lighten up a fraction too?
