That said, a blog, at the end of the day, is a journal. Even if you don’t write anymore, think of it this way: as long as you keep the hosting/backup files of your posts, it can be a legacy as you see fit. Not just for your own, but perhaps for those coming after you.

Silencers: As you said, I look at Twitter and felt like it’s a cheap excuse to post little things, just for the sake of posting little things. Kind of dilutes the value of blogging, more like it. I think I’m stuck in the classical blogging mindset where each post is thoughtfully written and made sure that it’s a pleasant read. I do not doubt Twitter’s potential, but as I pointed out, like twits carry little if any meaning at all. I just can’t see myself using it anytime soon.
