Alright people, we need to have a little talk here.
I know some of these questions can be tough to choose, because - depending on your circumstances - there may be no clear cut winner. I get that. Truly, I do.
But it's called Would You Rather for a reason. Otherwise it would be called In An Ideal World, or If I Could Have Exactly What I Wanted . . . and quite frankly, both of those games sound a little boring to me.
So stop asking me if you can have both or refuse to accept either, 'cause that's cheating!!
Although, it's perfectly okay with me if you admit that you can't bring yourself to choose for the blog. That I respect. It's those of you who try weaseling escape clauses into your answers that I have my eye on.
(Obviously, this is all meant in jest . . . unless I happen to be totally serious)
My research from last week's question : Whether you would rather spend 10 years with your soulmate or 60 years with a runner-up proved that we writers tend to be more like our characters than we admit. (Or maybe it's the other way around). 66% of you decided you would rather deal with the loneliness later than miss out on the time with your soulmate.
Or to quote Shelby from Steele Magnolias: "I would rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special" (Sadly, we all know how that turned out)
As sadistic as it sounds (and I'm still not sure I won't change my mind at some point) I think I'd put myself through the torture too.
Now on to this week's social networking focus:
Would you rather have. . . ?
A) One-thousand blog followers
or
B) Ten-thousand Twitter followers
We're talking genuine followers (no spambots) in both scenarios.
27 witty remarks:
A. I'd rather subject a thousand people to my rants than let ten thousand know when I eat a sandwich.
One-thousand blog followers. Especially since they are real people. I can say a lot more in my blogs and since I review books, I could hopefully get those one-thousand people to read a little bit more. :)
Definitely B. Blogging is much more personal... makes me feel like a DJ, spinning records for my fans. lol :p
I'd default to A, since I don't Tweet. It just comes down to time, and the hundreds of Blogs that I can't visit regularly, so I haven't signed up for the "Micro Blogging."
Yeah, 1000 blog followers rather. I don't say all that much on Twitter!
No contest. A. Of course I hope a large majority actually read my posts and not just follow me, but I know how difficult that can be. I can only read so many a day before my brain explodes. ;)
Blog followers, all the way. The only thing I Tweet are my blog posts, anyway!
A.
I would much rather have a thousand people reading my blog than me having to figure out all that damn Twitter-ese. Ugh! :)
Tweeting's a lot easier than blogging, so B.
Oh A for sure. I can barely follow the Tweets of a hundred people. If I had 10k, I'd probably just give up.
I'm going with A.
Definitely 1000 blog followers. Sure some of them never come back, but people follow quite frivolously on Twitter. Plus I never go there.
1000 followers or 10k on Twitter. Considering I never tweet unless I absolutley friggin' have to, the followers. A. Interesting fact, a twit is a baby goldfish (or something like that or I totally made that up) and/or someone I can't stand. Honestly, I just enjoy people who enjoy me because I'm slightly narcisistic in that way ;) I love my bloggies. AND, glad to have you on board!
TEAM DEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One thousand blog follwers, oh wait... unless one of my twitter followers is charlie sheen, wait can I have him as one of my 1,000 blog followers? Can I just have both?
A. and I'd hope at least a few would post inciteful comments-- I like to have some back and forth, the blog isn't supposed to be a lecture but a discussion. Since I may have been one of the weasellers last week (ahem), in the end I'd go with 10 years with the soul mate, too.
- Sophia.
Blog followers.
I just feel as if there's a stronger sense of community among bloggers.
:-)
What Misha said. There is definitely more camrederie in a blog than in twitter.
A, for sure. A blog is just more connective, supportive. There is a sense of community that I love, and I learn all kinds of cool stuff from bloggers.
SWEET! An easy one! I would totally choose a thousand blog followers. One, I don't have a twitter. Two, blogs are way more personal! SO that one wins...by a landslide (of followers?!)
Too clear for me, A. I could live off blogging that way, lol. :)
(I'm so dirty, don't deserve the good company, lol.)
A. I don't use Twitter that much, of course I don't really know how. Blogging I can do.
I don't Twitter, either (not even sure I know HOW it works!). So I pick A. Because I do have a blog!
One thousand blog followers. People seem to pay attention to blog posts more than tweets.
A, definitely. Twitter freaks me out for some reason. Blogging seems more manageable, and more personal.
Blog followers. I put a lot more effort into my blogs than my random BS tweets so I'd rather have more people read that.
Blog followers for sure.
1000 blog followers. I don't twitter yet. :P
