People's kids on profile photos

my football Think Ill replace my photo with my football. It is very dear to me, so it must represent me.

Will you first try to work out if you recognise the ball? Would you even care who the ball is, or just skip the post as you don't know who it is at a glance.

me and football What about a photo of me and the ball? Do you first try and work out whether I am the ball or me? Why is the ball relevant to tell you who I am, have you met my ball?


football team What about a zoomed our photo of my whole football team, they are my "family". Would anyone recognise who I am? Without zooming fullscreen?

Off course I know Ill change my profile photo to my eventual offsprings as well.

Twittering Blog

I used to write blog entries more often, whenever I had something on my mind that I wanted to rant about. Although prevously never a frequent blogger , lately I have blogged less and less.

Why? Twitter.

Before I would write pages and pages of mostly repeating rants. Now I restrict it to one twitter tweet (or two). And quite frequently...

But my long rants are now gone, or very rare. Maybe that is a good idea.



So what if any are the pros and cons of this "evolution":


Pros:
* My blog is not filled with rants.
* I twitter a lot.
* My rants are to the point, not filled with reiterated jibberish.
* My grievances are shared with more people.


Cons:
* I twitter too much?
* I rant more often.
* My blog is never updated.
* My twitter rants have no detail, or reflection.
* The threshold to rant is lower, and often rant needlessly, before I can rethink and research my issue.


And I presume this has happened for other people as well.

Funny, since the people behind [1] [2] blogger are some of the founders of twitter. Killing their own lovechild?
