1. That is mad! I couldn’t live day to day without a notebook or pen.

2. I love my smartphone, but I love notebooks more.

   It’s cool, though, because I just found out I can take pictures of my notebook pages with my phone and sync them to my computer with Evernote– and then my notebook pages are archived AND searchable!

3. If this topic was posted at engadgaget, everyone would agree that writing with pen and paper is in the past, but here, we all thrive with pen and paper, I bet everyone here will cry for their love for the pen and paper feel..

4. I read this post yesterday and I was SEETHING!

5. My problem is just the advantages he says – it’s always with you, you can jot down ideas as you have them, are exactly what you do if you’re using a paper notebook too. If he can’t recognise the shared theme I kinda don’t know how good a writer he’s going to be. You don’t need a smartphone to make a note when you’re out of the office.

   I think the idea that you can use Twitter to get feedback on what you’re writing to be a bit facile to be honest. I’d hate to read a book in 140 characters. Someone tried it with Moby Dick back when Twitter was new and it was original and quirky and everything but it was reading a book in tens of thousands of small chunks of text. It was rubbish.
