Would folks just prefer it if I tweeted about Beyonce? People wonder why I don't blog anymore. No one reads if it's more than 300 words at MOST anymore. In fact, I blame lack of reading on the mass decline of our society. Or inability to read on it as well. READ REAL BOOKS AGAIN!

I miss the prevalence of blogs. When I see tweetstorrms someone has posted I think, this would make so much more sense as a blog post. Yet, we are all social media sheep.

"The Tale of Genji" written by Murasaki Shikibu (real name unknown) is a 11th Century Japanese novel written as two line poetic messages. All we know is that Muasaki was a female attendant in the royal court. Quality of poetry was critical. How about tweets as two-line poems?

Twitter poems are wonderful, especially if you write them in a thread and can read each tweet in any order or independently. I do that with some frequency :) Twitter Haiku for me n' you!

I could not agree less. I don’t know what we expected when we connected people in a network. Certainly not this. I have closed my FB account, reduced use of Twitter and made more use of a Kindle, a device with just the bare minimum of networking
