What have I been reading lately, What I suppose around twitter and why blogging is the best.
Monday, June 29th, 2009I have been taking in a lot of great new blogs recently. I am still waiting to decide about all the twitter stir. I still relish blogs and have a crazy number in my feed reader.
The key part of blogs is that you can find hidden treasures, and they are from individuals that actually like to can write.
Sure you can discover some cool individuals on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for people with add or who dont like to write normal posts. Yes, heaps of people twitter and also blog, and those people are cool by me, but I am always and everlastingly a blog devotee.
Blogs pressure the author to in reality articluate their thought. Twitter on the other hand merely permits you to submit it. Call me old fashioned but I imagine there is a point where smaller is no longer better. We have been obsessed with miniturization for so long. Especially when it comes to technology. Certainly there has to be a point where we figure substance counts. Value matters. What do you believe?
Perchance the realistic answer lies in balance. And compromise. You cannot force people to have heart and soul and not be shallow. But, too perhaps you need to pressure the navel gazing hippies to lighten up a touch too?
