Just call me old fashioned.

I love expressing myself online. This blog is one of the means that I can do that with. Because of this, I am heavily into blogging (or when I don't have the time, Twitter). But, there has been a lot of services that have come around lately that have tried to fill those "middle spaces" between the two.

A very good example of this is the "blog" (if you call it that) Tumblr. Now, I have nothing against the service, and find it really good. But it's something I always forget about. For me, you can't properly express your thoughts through it. Now, I understand it's use. It's for the "slightly" micro blogger and the people who are wanting to show clips of the internet. I find that a really cool idea, but it's something I never have fully gotten. For me, if I am wanting to express quick thoughts/pictures/videos, I use Twitter (in conjunction with yfrog or a similar service) and for fully thought out posts, I use blogs like this (although I want to soon transition over to Wordpress on my server... More will come later about that though).

I don't know... Is it that I grew up in the blogging era with such services as Xanga and never have fully gotten out of that mindset? If so, I guess I am VERY old fashioned (to all the adults who might read this, this is old fashioned in internet terms. Things change weekly basically). Oh well, as long as I keep up with most new things, a few exceptions aren't bad.

But yeah, a few thoughts, and an explanation to those who wonder why I never post there.
