Do you like the Chatter or Chirp?


I've been wondering if Twitter and Facebook are beginning to make blog postings a thing of the past?
It seems that blogs are now fewer and shorter and facebook status updates and tweets are more prevelant.


Just a personal observation. I can't help but wonder how that will change the face of social networking..
And will FourSquare eventually make Twitter a thing of the past......blogs less meaningful...email outdated...etc....


I got a kick out of one of my young teen age friends on Facebook who recently confided in me and told me that "Her mother was so old fashioned because she was still back in the email days and would not join Tweeple in the real world ""
Guess the nice thing about emails and blog postings is that you can type random thoughts like this...ramble on a bit...and not be limited to 140 characters...A perfect platform for a 'Chatty Patty' who occasionally likes to chatter...not just chirp.
I have to confess that @gramEpat is addicted to 'twexercising' at least twice a day!...Luv to be on my exercise bike while I enjoy my #twitterqueens #tweetsandcoffee chirpers . (Realtor GramEpat @gramEpat)

Thank you, Michael for sharing your talent and your memories of your Maine Vacation on Mount Desert Island. We look forward to your return visit next season.
