before social media took off, blogging was the trend.

I actually loved blogs because people actually wrote essays and thoughtful ideas.

People responded and conversation got interesting

Don’t start that with me. I had a personal blog for over 5 years and a BlackBerry related blog / business for over 12 years. I spent so many hours using google reader daily to get all my news and following my friends. Back in the days, the user selected what he wanted to see and read, now, it’s the opposite, the platform show you what they want you to see or read. I never found a simple tool like google reader again.

I closed my ig and fb a few weeks ago because there is no more interaction with friends and just got tired of it. I got back on Twitter last night.
