Facebook, Twitter, etc are great ways for people to launch conversations with equally uninterested (passive) audience - but when the topics of interest change (ie, you post every single ride you're about to get on at Disneyland) you're almost immediately ignored even though it seems you've got a large audience. On Twitter and Facebook, user counts mean less and less and losing an audience is far easier than building one. -Vlad I saw a tshirt at Walmart (hey, when you need a USB cable at 3 AM you don’t have many options) that had a picture of a tweety bird and it was saying “nobody cares” :) There is also a great demotivator about blogging “Never have so many said so much to so few”
