This hit me right in the old school Internet nostalgia feels... My g-d.

Maybe I'm just an old man yelling at clouds, but I miss the days when blogs were the dominant social media.

Heh. I'm with you. But blogs to me are not social media. They are in my mind a communications medium which contains social interaction but is not dependent upon it but rather the content being communicated. I miss simple. I also once could identify signal and noise as separated.
