Oh blogs how I love you so. Of all forms of social media blogs and message boards are by far my favorite. There are a few reason why I love the blog. Twitter facebook etc require almost real time attention. You have to keep checking your phone or you feel like you've missed something. That's an added stress I don't need in my life. A lot of the new social media sites make it much harder to go back and find older posts. I love reading really old long term blogs. Fascinating to see what people were doing/saying in 2007 say. Blogs also lend themselves to a longer format of writing so deeper ideas can be expressed and discussed. I despise the fact that most corporate social media censors what you see. You aren't seeing everything your friends posts but what their algorithms think is best. Best meaning generate them the most profit. I blog is going to always contain what the author thought was important enough to write. Your blog is there for you. Corporate social media is there for the corporation.
