I read a somewhat depressing article in Sunday's Times stating that the amount of abandoned blogs are increasing exponentially as more and more people migrate over to Twitter and Facebook.  I felt a pang of guilt as I read the article, not the least because I am guilty of the same. 

   I have kept this blog for almost 5 years and feel a loyalty to my small, but treasured readership.  But I too have become enamored of the immediacy of twitter, and the nostalgia of reconnecting with old friends that facebook offers.

     I have no intention of abandoning this blog, however.  I am nothing, if not stubborn, and I intend to keep this going as long as I have fingers to type with.   Who would have thought that blogging would count as long-form media?  Attention spans are decreasing to be sure, but there must be some room for paragraphs on web 2.0.
