Bits of information at 140 characters or less fails to equate meaning or context to whatever the Twitterer is engaged in at the moment. Is it fun to just get bits and bites of perhaps meaningless chatter? Sure is. Sometimes you grab a gem here or there, but I agree that the blog format you are revisiting is an exceptional way to communicate ideas and receive critical feedback. I also agree that one doesn't have to blog every 15 minutes either, perpetuating a cycle of competition versus other bloggers who are simply regurgitating their own self-important view of the world as fast as they can hit "post." When I look at my Google Analytics or GetClicky reports, I see that people are finding long tail content on my blog. Stuff I wrote a year ago is still relevant today. So, it makes sense to think how the content you create today will be digested later. Here's to taking the the right lane on the autobahn. You'll still get to where you want to go, albeit a bit slower. In doing so, you had more time to enjoy the ride. I agree that less is not more.
