Social network effect on me

You may have noticed that this blog is not regular in terms of posting. I would really like to have a regular schedule of posting, at least weekly. I read most of the blogs i follow on a regular basis. One blogger SwaroopCH recently talked about twitter, a micro blogging took that lets you post updates of 140 characters long. Its very effective in passing short updates. On the other side, using twitter to get updates of whats cutting, in whatever industry you are interested in has its harmful effects. One of this is that you tend to get a quick satisfaction from micro updates on twitter and facebook. This acts as an addiction and causes you to be lazy. You no longer want to read long posts and start deviating from books to blogs then to facebook, twitter and other sites that give you instant gratification.
Having realized this detrimental effects, i now try to control myself. That involves reading and writting which to me is a thinking process. Make sure you understand the bigger picture of the small things you do daily
