I think this post at Tame the Web has some truth, but perhaps not for my generation. (at least, not this week) I'm finding the communication at social networking sites to be increasingly ephemeral. I'll go back to my old question: Do social networking sites, like FB and Twitter in any way encourage sustained creative thought? Feel free to tell me how, if you think they do.
For me, blogging has more permanence, and there's something to writing posts that I know will only be discovered by people who really want to see them. (or who just stumbled upon this blog by accident and will quickly leave.)
I tried broadcasting my blog posts via notes on FB several times, and it just made me uncomfortable. Not to mention the problem with FB being able to license content you post on there.
Like I said, I'm old. Feel free to refute me on this.
