A word about attraction... 05/08/2009
I love Twitter, let me start off by making you privy to this simple truth. Why do I love Twitter? Because of its magnitude (I follow/am followed by people from every continent) and because of its speed (a lot can be expressed when you are not expected to be long-winded--talk about getting to the point!). Having said that, I was skimming a series of blogs posted by other "Tweeple" (I admit I love the corny lingo as well) and came upon a blog that insisted readers (or ersatz readers if you really think about it) place no value on quality content and that they only loiter on your blog for a mere 36 seconds. The notion was that our collective minds and attention are not gratified by the Best-Of anything (they likened it to the McDonalds formula-make a burger good enough and it will be bought, rather than attempting to make the best burger in the world). The writer was a proponent of pumping out mediocre content, and a lot of it, quickly! I cringed. Not because I believe I am to become the Best-Of-Bloggers, but because we as a society have come to accept mediocrity in all its various arenas. Personally, I would like to challenge the nay-sayers of quality and invite them to put their best efforts forward. And in staying in alignment with the writers insistence that the reader only stays a half minute on a blog, I closed the link after 30 seconds. Ahhh, the laws of attraction at work! Add Comment |
