I follow some of the blogs I read about once a month, and most of the conversation is still worth following. Can't say that about twitter.

There is something about the ability to put an idea out there and to learn there are others interested, too. It made the world much smaller for me. Definitely started my blog for personal reasons.

I find Twitter pointless, as of now. Bookchronicle - I think most of the personal blogs are non-commercial and out here to interact on issues or ideas that they find interesting. That's the essence, if I may say so. Jeff - I completely agree. I am sure that Boutin does not believe half of what he says. It's just that extreme opinions tend to attract more readership, I guess. Profithoundpro - Blogs can serve so many diverse functions for diverse people that twittering or facebook can never compare to. And text medium is here to stay. Foreever. BookDiva - That's the attitude! I will blog if I want to. I guess that's another essence of this medium - freedom of choice. Thank's for all your opinions.

My blog isn't for money, but for those who want to try to earn some, that's great, for them. I tend to think that Boutin is way off, but that's his opinion. It's my blog, and I'll blog if I want to! :) By the way, thanks for that other added bit of information you stated to me.

I have yet to utilize twitter or facebook as I am unfamiliar with their plateform.

But I'm also not twittering, etc. There's never an either/or situation with blogging, etc. People like Boutin just like to make tiring, controversial statements because it gets attention. And, quite frankly, it's exactly the type of article that Wired wants to publish. Boutin simply knows the trick of freelance writing: write what the magazine wants.
