@hamatti @kev Another reason for posting to a personal web site rather than social media is that the content is then available to those who choose not to use social media.

@underlap @kev That's a fantastic point I completely forgot from my post.

Especially these days when almost every sites limits that ability to their users. It's especially bad when a lot of local businesses only have a Facebook page.

@underlap Excellent point. And especially if you make it available with RSS.

I see social media as fast but noisy and blogs as slow but with more signal.

I’m ok with noisy data when I care about recent trends. But rely on blogs for topics I care about.
