About Me
- daveberta
- Dave Cournoyer began blogging in 2005 while studying Political Science at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. In 2006, he was elected Vice-President (External) his Students’ Union and served as Chair of the Council of Alberta University Students until 2007. Since then, he has worked as Communication Coordinator for Alberta’s official opposition party and for various advocacy and public policy groups. As well as writing on this blog, Dave also occasionally writes for publications such as SEE Magazine.
Wouldn't a coherent, reasoned and reflective post summarizing the experience be fundamentally more useful than the periodic knee-jerk posts that are characteristic of Twitter? - Roman
ReplyDeletePerhaps, but in the immediate time, I posted my thoughts on twitter.
ReplyDeleteThe limits of twitter are made manifest.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't blog.
I was otherwise occupied at the time of this twitter-fest.
I have since missed your twittering, am too lazy to go back through the feeds to see, and now don't know where I should live when I come back to E-town nor do I know which City Councilors to secretly respect or sneer at.
Also, me, me, me, I, I, I.

Characters define my life
Me, myself and I
I have to admit, both twitter and facebook updates leave me cold. They both operate under the assumption that people are actually interested in the minutaie and banality of other people's lives; it's a sort of e-voyeurism.
ReplyDeleteI'm not; and I don't expect other people to be all that interested in mine. But I do enjoy blog posts that have been carefully considered and eloquently scribed.
Perhaps, in the interests of recording one's immediate reactions to things, twitter might be useful as sort of notepad...but an actual notepad would do the job as well, wouldn't it?
Twitter is stupid and I refuse to partake.
