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

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

Sure you can notice some fashionable individuals on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for people with attention defecit disorder or who dont like to write authentic posts. Yes, bunches of people twitter and also blog, and those souls are fine by me, but I am always and perpetually a blog lover.

Blogs squeeze the author to really articluate their thought. Twitter on the other hand merely allows you to express it. Call me old fashioned but I imagine there is a point where smaller is no longer greater. We have been obsessed with miniturization for so long. Specially when it comes to technology. Surely there has to be a place where we realise substance matters. Value matters. What do you suppose?

Maybe the solid answer lies in balance. And compromise. You cannot squeeze individuals to have heart and soul and not be superficial. But, too possibly you need to push the inward looking hippies to lighten up a touch too?
