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.
