I believe you met my friend, Nichole, a while back when she was in your area (for a medical conference maybe? I have forgotten exactly why now...) and I've had your blog tucked into my feed reader for a while--and yes, I am terrible about jumping in & leaving that first comment. I couldn't agree more with what you've posted. (Save for Twitter, which I use, but only when I am on my actual computer & usually to chatter with my friends as a sanity-check during the work day, and other than that, if I am out & about, the only text tweets from me are an occasional photo if I happen to see something particularly noteworthy--Twitter just isn't for everybody...and I digress.) I am a firm believer in balance, in moderation, in quality over quantity. I don't think BlogHer is for me either, and I am glad to know that you've voiced much of what I imagine I would feel, if I had attended. I’m going to start by at least introducing myself.

I love twitter but I will agree with you that people were obnoxious about it. Same goes for anything--some people ruin it for others and give 'it' a bad name (religion, politics, blogging, twitter, whatever). I vote for pretty picture! :-) Okay I’ll just say it: I’m STILL sad you’re not on twitter! I love twitter but I will agree with you that people were obnoxious about it.

And by all the comments it seems you hit a nerve here. I have always tried to be true to why I blog (or not blog as of late). I think it is awesome that you are gut checking yourself. One of the things I admire most about you is how you are not afraid for honest, up-front assessments AND the fact that then you DO something about it. Great post!

I think it's a good thing, and I am going to try to hold off getting a blackberry/iPhone/flash phone that can actually do things for as long as possible for exactly the reasons you mention. Being a blogger, I'm quite internet obsessed enough as it is!! I have a twitter account, but have never really used it properly, because I can’t do it from my phone in NZ.
