What have I been reading lately, What I conceive about twitter and why blogging is the best.
June 27th, 2009
I have been reading a lot of great new blogs lately. I am not sure about all the twitter bustle. I still enjoy blogs and have a substantial number in my feed reader.
The essence of blogs is that you can find hidden treasures, and they are from individuals that in reality like to can string more than a few words togther.
Sure you can discover some chill people on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for people with attention defecit disorder or who dont like to write normal posts. Yes, dozens of people twitter and also blog, and those people are fine by me, but I am always and forever a blog lover.
Blogs pressure the author to really articluate their notion. Twitter however merely permits you to posit it. Call me old fashioned but I think there is a point where smaller is no longer best. We have been obsessed with miniturization for so long. Particularly when it comes to technology. Certainly there has to be a point where we understand substance matters. Value matters. What do you believe?
Perhaps the proper answer dwells in equilibrium. And compromise. You cannot push individuals to have marrow and not be shallow. But, too perhaps you need to pressure the inward looking hippies to lighten up a bit too?
