I was talking to someone recently who didn’t understand blog from Twitter from Facebook and here are my explanations:
Facebook – like slam books from when I was in grade school. We all carried spiral back composition books our friends wrote in spontaneously.
Twitter – like fence talk, you tell your neighbor you heard Sam’s dog is loose again, and then he tells his neighbor and so on and so on.
Blog – as a journalist you could say I blog because it is close to what I do for a living – investigative reporting, but blogging is also autobiographical so it is a form of nonfiction creative writing, but most importantly blogging is a realm of reality manifest. To wit, a quote from Louise Nevelson “What we call reality is an agreement that people have arrived at to make life more livable.” [I lost my favorite buttons one Mardi Gras during the 80s that said DON’T FUCK WITH MY REALITY.]
