On bloggin and facebooking

I feel almost furtive writing here again. Most of the bloggers in my contact list have abandoned the blogging arena, their latest entries dating back to sometime in 2007. They are happily facebooking around, now. There's even a blog application over there, and i've indeed tried it, but there's too much traffic, too many buttons and links... Not to deny the merits of facebook nor anything (i mean, it's almost replaced e-mail for me) but as far as blogging goes, facebook seems like the easy way out. Instead of making an effort to knead your thoughts together, you can simply get away with a one-liner answer to the "what are you doing right now?" question on top of the main page. It's quite distracting.
Here, instead, the cybernetic air is purer, one has more space to breathe. Been thinking of taking my blog up again for a while now, and yesterday i posted my first entry.

Me encanta que hayas vuelto a escribir en tu blog, así como me encanta el nuevo aspecto que le has dado, ese banco cubierto de nieve que tantos recuerdos me trae.
El mundo de los blogs es ese gran agujero donde uno vacía sus pensamientos, no podemos reducirnos a las escuetas líneas de estado en facebook. Aunque en mi caso también ha llegado a sustituir a los emails-una lástima por otro lado- demasiadas aplicaciones están empezando a rozar la impersonalidad.
De todas maneras,publiques aquí o en facebook tengo la certeza de que alguien siempre te estará leyendo ;)
un besazo grande
