This morning, I’m giving a presentation to my digital imaging group (DIG). I’ll be talking about
the differences between Facebook, Twitter and a Blog. The best description I’ve read defines
Facebook and Twitter as dialog and a Blog as monologue. Perfect, I think.
Facebook and Twitter are live and all about connecting with people…hence dialog.
Blogs are not live and typically not meant as a communication tool….hence monologue.

Interesting that you should post this. I’ve had a Twitter account for more than a year but I’ve never used it. Never even went to the website until yesterday. Took a quick look and am not sure I’m going back! Millions are talking — constantly — but no one’s saying anything. If we’re allotted X number of minutes in our lifetime, I’m not sure this is where I want to be spending them. — Carol (talking from her rocking chair) Leigh
