What have I been reading recently, What I suppose around twitter and why blogging is the best.
I have been reading a lot of great new blogs of late. I am still waiting to decide about all the twitter stir. I still love blogs and have over 1000 in my feed reader.
The beauty of blogs is that you can find hidden jewels, and they are from people that actually like to write.
Sure you can discover some stylish individuals on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for individuals with add or who dont like to write genuine posts. Yes, rafts of people twitter and also blog, and those souls are chill by me, but I am incessantly and everlastingly a blog fan.
Blogs drive the author to actually articluate their judgment. Twitter by comparison merely permits you to say it. Call me old fashioned but I suppose there is a point where smaller is no longer easier. We have been obsessed with miniturization for so long. Especially when it comes to technology. Certainly there has to be a place where we realise substance matters. Value matters. What do you think?
Possibly the genuine answer rests in balance. And compromise. You cannot force individuals to have substance and not be shallow. But, too perhaps you need to push the navel gazing hippies to lighten up a touch too?
