You actually took the words out of my mouth. I couldn't have said it better myself though.
Twitter is fun, but it doesn't hold a patch against my good ol' faithful blog :)

You can't bitch as much on twitter ;) Other downside is that tweets go by quickly - blog posts persist a little longer. If you have a point to make, don't make it on Twitter and expect it to last...

Nice one Wogan, as @SheBee said, you've summed it up very well!

I read the Wired post and thought that the writer must suffer from A.D.D. or short attention span. Blogs probably are maturing fast. So fast that all the micro and niche broadcast blogs are putting a hurt on the printed newspaper and magazine. Over the next few years we might see social network and news networks that combine with a meshing of blog feeds that will become the de facto source for news, instruction and opinion in most homes.

@ChrisM I sure hope so - one thing that's in short supply here is clarity...
@Jeff Absolutely. Those that can (and have the willingness to) blog, will blog, come hell, high water or Facebook. And personal blogs will always have a major advantage (though double-edged) over news sites and "professional" blogs - there are many, many more of them.

Personally, I think Paul just suffers from Wikifriends syndrome.
