Comments on: Hayley’s perspective http://toddblog.net/2009/05/14/hayleys-perspective/ It's pretty fun if you say it fast Sun, 25 Dec 2011 23:22:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: paul http://toddblog.net/2009/05/14/hayleys-perspective/comment-page-1/#comment-1401 paul Thu, 14 May 2009 16:19:12 +0000 http://toddblog.net/?p=824#comment-1401 Very well said Hayley. I appreciate your thoughts on this matter. Of course, as many did throughout the "Twitter" fight follow-up I must disclose that I am a friend and fan of Todd. A real value of "Twitter" as I see it, though I don't "tweet", is it's playfulness. Small pieces of valuable information can be shared via Twitter and, when done well, can enhance discourse rather than drag it down. "Snarkiness" has a place and it's a huge part of culture today. Crude and aggressive doesn't necessarily equal "snark". I listened to an interview with David Denby who wrote the literal book on "snarkiness". You can check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/Snark-David-Denby/dp/1416599452 When "tweeting" and "blogging" and other social media elevate the level of discourse in our culture then let's cheer them on. Otherwise they are best abandoned like e-mail YELLING. Unfortunately, I don't this one has completely gone away. Very well said Hayley. I appreciate your thoughts on this matter.
