What have I been reading lately, What I believe about twitter and why blogging is the best.
I have been finding a lot of great new blogs recently. I am unconvinced about all the twitter bustle. I still enjoy blogs and have a substantial number in my feed reader.
The cool thing about blogs is that you can find hidden jewels, and they are from people that actually like to put pen to paper.
Sure you can discover some cool 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 chill by me, but I am invariably and eternally a blog fan.
Blogs pressure the author to actually articluate their judgement. Twitter by comparison merely allows 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. Peculiarly when it comes to technology. Surely there has to be a level where we recognise substance counts. Value matters. What do you think?
Possibly the proper answer rests in equilibrium. And compromise. You cannot force people to have marrow and not be superficial. But, too perhaps you need to drive the neo libral hippies to lighten up a little aswell?
