Blogs are meatier

In this day and age of microblogging over Twitter and Facebooking, blogs have taken quite a backseat.  Sure, some bloggers still blog and blast their blog links on Twitter and FB.  And when you google for stuff, you’ll mostly get blog links instead of Twitter and FB status updates.

But the fact of the matter is, with microblogging, people have less motivation to blog these days.  Have a quick thought or question in your mind?  Just post some status updates.  Have a funny photo to share?  Just snap it with your mobile phone and do a mobile/Twitpic upload.

And the coolest part of all this microblogging business?  You’ll get instant responses and comments.  Sometimes in mere seconds.

I’ve even been blessed with a GPS unit from a generous friend just because I queried (on FB) about the merits of having a dedicated GPS unit vs. a GPS software running on a mobile phone.  I’ve also received a Google wave invite, coupons, etc via FB and Twitter.  Not to mention the latest news and rumours fresh from the oven.

So with all these activities going on at social networking sites, it’s been a while since my list of favourite blogs have been updated (so is mine, I’m sheepish to say!).  On the rare occasion that I stumble upon a good one, I will make sure that I bookmark it and leave an encouraging comment behind.  Blogs still and will always have a special place in my heart.

Microblogs are but appetisers whereas blogs are the meatier deal.
