I have been finding a lot of great new blogs of late. I am unconvinced about all the twitter fuss. I still savour blogs and have over 1000 in my feed reader.
The cool thing about 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 chance some groovy souls on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for masses with attention defecit disorder or who dont like to write longer posts. Yes, stacks of people twitter and also blog, and those souls are cool by me, but I am forever and evermore a blog lover.
Blogs squeeze the author to actually articluate their opinion. Twitter by comparison merely allows for you to say it. Call me old fashioned but I reckon 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 place where we see substance counts. Value matters. What do you think?
Possibly the actual answer lies in balance. And compromise. You cannot push people to have marrow and not be superficial. But, too perhaps you need to push the neo libral hippies to lighten up a little too?
