What Have I Been Reading of Late, What I Believe around Twitter and Why Blogging Is the Best
6 August 2009
I have been taking in a lot of great new blogs recently. I am unconvinced about all the twitter dither. I still savour blogs and have a crazy number in my feed reader.
The essence of blogs is that you can find hidden jewels, and they are from people that actually like to put pen to paper.
Sure you can find some stylish individuals on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for individuals with add or who dont like to write normal posts. Yes, rafts of people twitter and also blog, and those souls are chill by me, but I am perpetually and eternally a blog lover.
Blogs push the author to actually articluate their sentiment. Twitter on the other hand merely allows for you to express it. Call me old fashioned but I consider there is a point where smaller is no longer fresher. We have been obsessed with miniturization for so long. Peculiarly when it comes to technology. Surely there has to be a place where we recognize substance counts. Value matters. What do you suppose?
Perhaps the real answer dwells in equilibrium. And compromise. You cannot pressure people to have heart and soul and not be shallow. But, too maybe you need to pressure the obama loving hippies to lighten up a bit aswell?
