More tweeting, less blogging
24 09 2009
I finally get why people tweet. It lets you speak your mind the way it is, without requiring you to make a paragraph out of it. When I blog, I think, then form, then rehearse then post. When I tweet, I think and tweet. The link between my thoughts and the tweets is more direct. And of course, very often, I don’t have paragraphs to talk about, but still experience exciting new things that can be written in 3 lines. So now I understand the subtle difference of tweeting vs blogging. I’ve wiped the dust off my twitter account. I will use that more often now. I will still occasionally post, but only if I have lots to say.

Somehow, that’s what I hate about microblogging/tweeting. It does not require the discipline which other forms of expression mandates. A tweet will always be what it is – a sound byte. Nothing more, nothing less. There will always be a place for a well written, well thought out opinion piece. Please do update your blog and don’t get lost in the white noise of tweets
I agree. After just 2 days of tweeting I know what you mean. When I don’t have much to say Ill tweet. When I have more to say I think it’s better I blog it.
