Why twitter is evil and blogs are good

Title an exaggeration I use twitter, but

When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation.

You can post anything you want, in any format you want, with no one monitoring you. In addition, you share simple readable links such as example.com/ideas. These links are permanent and will always work.
