What have I been reading recently, What I conceive around twitter and why blogging is the best.
06/20/2009
I have been reading a lot of great new blogs lately. I am of the opinion the jury is still out about all the twitter fuss. I still savour blogs and have over 1000 in my feed reader.
The thing about blogs is that you can find hidden gems, and they are from people that really like to can write.
Sure you can notice some trendy individuals on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for people with attention defecit disorder or who dont like to write longer posts. Yes, masses of people twitter and also blog, and those souls are fine by me, but I am invariably and eternally a blog fan.
Blogs draw the author to really articluate their feeling. Twitter by comparison merely lets you to express it. Call me old fashioned but I believe there is a point where smaller is no longer better. We have been obsessed with miniturization for so long. Particularly when it comes to technology. Surely there has to be a point where we recognise substance counts. Value matters. What do you believe?
Possibly the proper answer rests in balance. And compromise. You cannot squeeze people to have heart and soul and not be shallow. But, too possibly you need to force the navel gazing hippies to lighten up a touch aswell?
