I'm sorry, but Twitter, Facebook, etc. cannot replace blogs. Facebook is a social community for staying in touch with family, friends, etc., and Twitter just allows you to put whatever random thought rolls through your mind out there for the whole world to see. Do I really need to know that someone's dinner last night is causing them "issues" this AM? Both have more "noise" than "signal".

Bloggers take time to carefully craft an article on whatever subject they are writing about. Can you imagine trying to do a political debate between candidates where their answers have to be 140 characters or less? Or someone writing a tutorial on something new in WP 2.7 - 140 characters or less eh? Can't be done.

There is a time/place for each thing - Twitter, Facebook, and blogs. Whoever wrote that article is the one who is "out of touch".

Just my 3 cents worth...
