Your analogy is unfair and, from that analogy, it's quite clear you hate twitter so there was no need for the "Don't get me wrong,"
Twitter is for updates, blogs are for thoughts. The are two entirely different things, you are comparing them as if they are the same thing but one is the cheap, terrible version.
- gardenhedge 3y agoTwitter is not just for updates. People use it in a variety of ways including updates but also things like thought streaming, humour, conversations, trolling, etc
- Ensorceled 3y agoSure, I miss Cory Doctorow's essays for instance. But mostly it was updates. But Cory Doctorow isn't crappy, barely edible pizza.
- da_chicken 3y agoCory's blog posts are great, even when they're shredded into Twitter threads. Cory's image spam is crappy, barely edible pizza.
- meiraleal 3y ago> Twitter is for updates, blogs are for thoughts The word blog comes from "web log", a stream of updates from someone. A blog is as much for update as twitter. I think the analogy is perfect: twitter is pre-made updates, blogs need much more careful thought both to add updates and to deliver it to the audience. > you are comparing them as if they are the same thing but one is the cheap, terrible version. It seems that this is his opinion (which I agree). Is it wrong to think that twitter is pre-made food/fast food and blogs are home-made meals?
- axegon_ 3y agoSomeone already corrected your terminology. As for the "don't get me wrong" part: it means that I am not defending twitter. I openly hate it, which is what "I wouldn't miss it one bit if it suddenly disappeared" clearly states.
