About Twitter: I totally agree. I only started a twitter account associated with my (humble, to overstate) photoblog because I wanted a way to link to other content that I found interesting without diluting the blog itself. Even a daily “link roundup” would, I think, hurt the image of a blog that does even update daily with major posts. So twitter became a way for me to “retweet” links I found worthwhile.

Great insights, and thanks for the link to Brian Ulrich's post.

Thanks for the comment Patrick. Your blog looks good.

There are so many blogs out there that unless we as publishers really think about the content we're publishing, it's all going to end as one homogenized mass. Posting a few photos is rather simple these days, but really thinking about presentation and why the work is important to you is difficult.

peace,

very insightful article, I agree with most of the stuff you say

doing more than just posting pictures without thoughtful observations was my first motivation in creating my blog. I wanted to find a theme or style in every photographer's work that I truly appreciated and could describe in words for my readers. I never really thought about it until I started getting lazy and posting random selections of work and making my 'blurbs' shorter and shorter.

Reading this article has reminded me of what I'm in blogging for.

Thanks
