blogging vs writing on paper

I haven't really done a lot of online writing or blogging. I used to use xanga in junior high but I used it as a diary. I didnt use it as a place to write about anything serious just what i did that day or how i felt about things. I use facebook now and i dont think that counts as online writing. Writing a few sentences in my status doesn't count as writing to me. I think typing things online is more informal than writing on a piece of paper. Writing online doesn't feel as tedious as using a pen and paper. plus typing for a long time doesnt hurt your hand like writing. Also, since technology has come so far and everyone uses computers now, it just feels more natural writing online.

  1. Why don't you think Facebook counts? Writing a few sentences is still writing, isn't it? Even if it's rather limited?
