Blogging is passe: Official

People only read 140 characters b4 moving on.

Cld expln an awfl lot.

Gaurdian - Has blogging had its day?

I'd say, so long as those in the 'major', 'professional', 'paid' media think that they and only they should be guardian's (no pun meant) of what we see, learn and think, it's pretty safe.

Mind you, as the same PR was raised over at the Telegraph I learned that People only read 140 characters b4 moving on, which to my mind Cld expln an awfl lot.

Especially the actions of some editors who think what they stick in the headline and/or link can be mitigated by a line in para 37 'by way of balance'.

Ah, the new media age. Still with old media mentalities.

It's a bit like claiming the Reader's Digest will kill books. Some will only have time for it, but others will benefit from the time taken over the whole story.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.

Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.

I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
