Blogger
While I have been writing this technology blog for seven years now, words like blogger or tweeter still make no sense to me. If you are using a particular medium to publish your opinions, that medium cannot be used to define who you are.
Slashdot founder Rob Malda has a similar viewpoint:
I still shun the term Blogging just as I shun the term Tweeting. It’s all just writing. It’s like trying to subdivide Novelist, Columnist, Blogger, Tweeter. Words are words. It’s not really interesting to keep slicing and dicing and sub-categorizing to me. I just write some stuff or share some stuff. Distinguishing between “Journalist” and “Blogger” is a waste of time. I’m all of those things and none of them.
