Twitter and Blogging
I started blogging back in 2002 and for a long time there
were skeptics who would dismiss the medium as nothing more than emo
whining. Yes, there
was emo whining, but there were also a lot of interesting
conversations that often took place and it started to change the
way that people thought about traditional media outlets.
I remember reading about the Columbia space shuttle accident back in 2003 on TheStar.Com and then reading the blogs of people living in Texas that reported seeing wreckage strewn along the highway from the space shuttle. I didn't have to wait for a journalist to report on it, people just wrote about their experience.
Brittney Gilbert has a f unny post about Twitter versus blogs. Twitter will catch on eventually, but in the meantime, the skeptics will always be there shouting from the cheap seats.
