I have been taking in a lot of great new blogs recently. I am not sure about all the twitter tizzy. I still savour blogs and have a huge number in my feed reader.
The essence of blogs is that you can find hidden jewels, and they are from people that actually like to can string more than a few words togther.
Sure you can notice some stylish souls on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for individuals with attention defecit disorder or who dont like to write decent posts. Yes, loads of people twitter and also blog, and those individuals are groovy by me, but I am incessantly and always a blog lover.
Blogs force the author to in reality articluate their judgment. Twitter by comparison merely permits you to say it. Call me old fashioned but I believe there is a point where smaller is no longer greater. We have been obsessed with miniturization for so long. Peculiarly when it comes to technology. Certainly there has to be a point where we realise substance matters. Value matters. What do you suppose?
Possibly the true answer lies in balance. And compromise. You cannot squeeze individuals to have heart and soul and not be superficial. But, too perhaps you need to pressure the neo libral hippies to lighten up a little too?
