Needles to make this statement...: I am a blogger! I have yet to tweet. I do have a Tweeter account (and who doesn't?).
Comes today...I just produced the following hypothesis (and please feel free to debate it) that each of us is either--or, and one cannot be both. You are either a blogger format adept (generally accepted by the people who like to talk, the storytellers) or you are a tweet pro (generally well delivered by the people who have no time to write nor desire to create the time for writing, but they have a will to shout something out, while "on the go"). Both spheres are packed with very clever people, as well as with people who should have an advisory symbol next to their user names.
Since its inception I have heard many ways of defining a blog, as I found myself a while ago explaining to my mother what a blog stands for. However today I found the most wonderful delineation of a blog in the exact words of Dave Winner (This is the guy to whom, together with Netscape, we own the creation of RSS 2.0 or, generally known as a feed):
He think blogs are "...the united voice of an individual. It's not an organization speaking. It's informal. It's come as you are. We're just folks here. We are not concerned with typos or grammar errors, which remind readers that it's just a human speaking." Winner would go on and argue that this informal style has far greater appeal than the more polished stuff of corporate communications teams. "I don't like sterile, politically correct writting. I like writing that stimulates ideas and new thinking."
