I make no secret of may general disdain for Twitter (yeah I am aware of the irony of me having a twitter account) and I have been very aware of the way that the rise of twitter has been matched by a decline in output from some bloggers. Frankly that has not been an entirely bad thing as many of the idiots who were a blight upon blogging have moved to twitter.
Anyway here is a piece from Bolta praising a blog post that is worthy of a citation here:
Twitter certainly has value as a promotional tool but frankly it is very poor indeed when it comes to real political discourse.
