Thrifty Domestica Thinks “Micro-blogging is for Nerds”

My good friend Rachel over at the website, Thrifty Domestica got into a discussion about micro-blogging today.  When I asked her if she was going to start micro-blogging, she told me that she was going to write a post about how ridiculous micro-blogging was.  I told her “if you write it, I’ll link it” and so here we are.  Rachel’s thoughts on micro-blogging.

Micro-blogging is for Nerds

In response, I think that she understands the point, but doesn’t understand the conversation aspect of it.  When you record those little thoughts that one can’t always pan out into a full fledge 500-ish word blog post, someone might become inspired and make that post for you.  That person might have a perspective that you don’t have.  I know that there are a lot of wasted ideas out there, heck there are several a day that don’t make it to here from my end.

Either way, it’s interesting food for thought.  Check out the post, leave a comment your two.

    I just finished posting a response to your friends response on why micro blogging is "nerdy". That is essentially as silly as saying people who like romantic movies are all girls, gay, or pussies which is not the case. In her rush to demean that which she did not understand she left out a basic understanding of the human experience. Attempting ot be understanding and to see why some people would use it rather than enjoy her little ethno-centric world in an idyllic suburb somewhere. At least I can say if that is your happiness then may Buddha watch over you and your family and may the Tao always guide you. I however will stick to being supportive of people and new forms of communication since humanity has always had a bit of an issue in that department.
