This essay about how Twitter kills the desire to write long essays is pretty accurate for me. Where I differ, perhaps, is if that’s a bad thing or not. (A) Writing long essays can be just as addicting as Twitter. (B) Writing long essays takes a lot more time. (C) The essay is BETTER that the tweet, of course, but is it important to my life? Writing is not necessarily my raison d’etre. If I have other priorities higher than writing, then Twitter killing my desire to write long essays is a GOOD thing.
