But try to imag­ine replac­ing Daring Fireball, Scripting News, Apple Outsider, Shawn Blanc, or any of a num­ber of great blogs with some­thing like Twitter. You can’t. You’d have to invent blogs so that these writ­ers have some­where to write.

If blogs are dead, what are we read­ing in Instapaper?

If blogs are turn­ing into places for more thought­ful writ­ing, rather than as the only place to share stuff, I think that’s awe­some. We have a more diverse, inter­est­ing, tex­tured set of web-tools than we used to. That’s good.
