Blogging is so yesterday...

Well, maybe not quite that - but in a way it’s not as much part of the flow and signals that are trending now. Why is that? Well it takes a bit more to start writing an entry in a blog that just not a response to something, and even if we complain about the short size of a tweet, it actually also lowers the threshold to start writing.

Of course we love to complain that a tweet is too short for whatever we want to say, but therein lies the beaty. We can blame it, not us.

Today I read that political blogs in Finland are becoming more professional and less personal. Good news! It is relevant and essential for a democracy that a political debate is open, transparent and well documented. Our elected representatives should be expected to be able to formulate longer than one sentence opinions. Based on those views and opinions we can make our own judgements in the next elections. Campaigns are superficial, this is where the action is - in real life.
