I have been reading a lot of great new blogs recently. I am unconvinced about all the twitter dither. I still enjoy blogs and have a huge number in my feed reader.

The point with blogs is that you can find hidden treasures, and they are from individuals that in reality like to write.

Sure you can discover some cool souls on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for masses with attention defecit disorder or who dont like to write genuine posts. Yes, rafts of people twitter and also blog, and those people are chill by me, but I am always and eternally a blog devotee.

Blogs push the author to actually articluate their notion. Twitter on the other hand merely allows you to posit it. Call me old fashioned but I think there is a point where smaller is no longer fresher. We have been obsessed with miniturization for so long. Particularly when it comes to technology. Certainly there has to be a place where we recognize substance counts. Value matters. What do you think?

Maybe the true answer rests in balance. And compromise. You cannot force people to have substance and not be superficial. But, too maybe you need to force the inward looking hippies to lighten up a bit too?
