I have noticed as I am sure you have that blogging has lost a bit of it's creative magnetism.
I attribute it to the popularity of Facebook, Twitter, and the other social network systems.
I don't believe though that they can truly offer the kind of audience that a blog can, not so much in numbers but in interest.
Take for example our friend illyria and that site. We do not go to that site to read about that person's last bowel movement, we go to that site to read that which has been created, in short "Art."
I am on FB but it does not give me the satisfaction that blogging does and I dont put into my blog when I last got drunk or whether the show that featured Ozzie losing his voice. By all means FB and Tweet, but don't forget where your Art is. :)
peace out!
And if you can't peace out then PISS OFF! :)

Funny you should bring this up. I'm on fb as well (eventually did it, kicking and screaming) but don't even acknowledge my blog presence there. This is seperate. Truth be told, I'd be really angry if anyone mixed blog and fb. Fb has a few good points. A few. I don't care about what people are doing that much, really. Unless it is here. This is the place that is more personal. This is the place you learn about people; you bond.
I'm not social enough to be successful in reaping the benefits of fb. I use it for what it's worth to me and leave the rest. But this place, this will always be special. I'm with you on this!
