..and then...

...there's facebook and twitter....why do some people use the status updates instead of writing their blogs?

What I notice is that I tend NOT to use the status on facebook, because I'm aware how diverse the membership of my friends list seems to be. If I write about XYZ, will Julie be interested? What will Frank think? And how about Lucy?

Whereas if I write in a blog that I know (do I know?) that only people interested in that kind of blog will read, I can avoid the status feeds going to everyone....

As if people really care.....
