I have been finding a lot of great new blogs recently. I am unconvinced about all the twitter stir. I still relish blogs and have over 1000 in my feed reader.

The essence of blogs is that you can find hidden gems, and they are from individuals that actually like to put pen to paper.

Sure you can find some chill individuals on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for people with add or who dont like to write authentic posts. Yes, heaps of people twitter and also blog, and those souls are stylish by me, but I am incessantly and perpetually a blog devotee.

Blogs force the author to really articluate their view. Twitter by comparison merely allows for you to state 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. Especially when it comes to technology. Certainly there has to be a point where we realize substance counts. Value matters. What do you believe?

Perhaps the solid answer rests in equilibrium. And compromise. You cannot force individuals to have essence and not be shallow. But, too maybe you need to push the neo libral hippies to lighten up a fraction aswell?
