I have been discovering a lot of great new blogs of late. I am of the opinion the jury is still out about all the twitter fuss. I still relish blogs and have over 1000 in my feed reader.

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

Sure you can discover some trendy souls on twitter. But, seriously, twitter is for individuals with attention defecit disorder or who dont like to write longer posts. Yes, lots of people twitter and also blog, and those individuals are fine by me, but I am invariably and everlastingly a blog fan.

Blogs force the author to really articluate their opinion. Twitter on the other hand merely permits you to state it. Call me old fashioned but I consider there is a point where smaller is no longer hotter. We have been obsessed with miniturization for so long. Especially when it comes to technology. Surely there has to be a spot where we figure substance counts. Value matters. What do you think?

Maybe the practical answer rests in balance. And compromise. You cannot force individuals to have substance and not be shallow. But, too maybe you need to force the neo libral hippies to lighten up a touch too?
