I have been taking in a lot of great new blogs lately. I am still waiting to decide about all the twitter bother. I still relish blogs and have a prolific number in my feed reader.

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

Sure you can discover some fashionable souls on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for individuals with attention defecit disorder or who dont like to write decent posts. Yes, scores of people twitter and also blog, and those souls are groovy by me, but I am incessantly and eternally a blog fan.

Blogs push the author to actually articluate their thought. Twitter however merely allows you to posit it. Call me old fashioned but I believe there is a point where smaller is no longer best. We have been obsessed with miniturization for so long. Specially when it comes to technology. Surely there has to be a place where we recognise substance matters. Value matters. What do you suppose?

Possibly the proper answer dwells in equilibrium. And compromise. You cannot force people to have essence and not be shallow. But, too perhaps you need to push the inward looking hippies to lighten up a fraction too?
