What Have I Been Reading Recently, What I Suppose about Twitter and Why Blogging Is the Best
I have been discovering a lot of great new blogs recently. I am unconvinced about all the twitter bustle. I still savour blogs and have a sizeable number in my feed reader.
The point with blogs is that you can find hidden jewels, and they are from individuals that really like to write.
Sure you can chance some groovy people on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for individuals with attention defecit disorder or who dont like to write normal posts. Yes, heaps of people twitter and also blog, and those individuals are fine by me, but I am incessantly and always a blog lover.
Blogs force the author to actually articluate their sentiment. Twitter by comparison merely allows you to submit it. Call me old fashioned but I imagine there is a point where smaller is no longer greater. We have been obsessed with miniturization for so long. Especially when it comes to technology. Certainly there has to be a point where we understand substance counts. Value matters. What do you suppose?
Maybe the proper answer lies in equilibrium. And compromise. You cannot squeeze individuals to have substance and not be shallow. But, too possibly you need to force the navel gazing hippies to lighten up a touch too?
