Social media is a voice of the blog sphere to me. I use twitter to add value to my research on content I use for my blog, and I twit my blog post to twitter. Best of all worlds really.

Blogs and social networks have different purposes. Choosing how much time and effort you devote to either one will depending on how you want your content perceived and delivered.

As my friend and consultant Kyra Reed has stated above
“Local Choices” is living proof that blogging is a great community building tool, as our site has already had views from her comment which brought me here to read your spot on post…that I will now visit often!

Who’s Wired?

I am so glad to have stumbled on this post today. I agree that the Wired article is dead wrong. Blogs are not only used to make money or spout rhetoric, they are incredible vehicles for communication and community building. There billions of people with just as many interests, and blogs help facilitate interaction in a way that mankind has never experienced. Blogs are hardly dying. In fact, if anything, they are becoming a predominate resource for information. And not just the Huff Post.

My two favorite examples of how blogs can be used are:
The Roxy Theater (Yes, the famous club on the Sunset Strip. Their blog changed the face of the club) – http://theroxyonsunset.com

Local Choices – A great example of hyper local/citizen journalism. This blog acts as a hub for farmers and consumers who are interested in organic foods. A beacon for change in an area dominated by factory farming and big ag. http://localchoicescv.com

LONG LIVE THE BLOG!!!

I couldn’t agree more – haiku notwithstanding, a word (or character) limit on creativity is an oxymoron if ever I saw one. More here – http://diversity.net.nz/the-ultimate-proof/2008/11/12/
