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

The key part of blogs is that you can find hidden gems, and they are from individuals that actually like to can write.

Sure you can discover some fashionable 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 individuals are fine by me, but I am perpetually and eternally a blog devotee.

Blogs force the author to actually articluate their judgment. Twitter on the other hand merely permits you to state it. Call me old fashioned but I suppose 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. Surely there has to be a spot where we recognise substance matters. Value matters. What do you believe?

Maybe the practical answer rests in balance. And compromise. You cannot squeeze individuals to have substance and not be superficial. But, too maybe you need to push the inward looking hippies to lighten up a touch too?
