Sorry about the lack of updates, everyone. I’ve been kinda busy and mostly lazy. Will try to get back into the swing of things.
I think that like most bloggers who have turned to Twitter, Twittering has reduced my quantity of blog posts. Hopefully, it will also increase the quality of my posts. (Let me know if see THAT slipping.) I’m still working on finding the balance between whether any given idea deserves a tweet or a full post. Right now, I’m experimenting with floating rough ideas on Twitter, and then doing a full post if I get lot of responses or a particularly interesting response.
As you may have noticed, I have made some changes to the site recently. Took the Twitter updates out of the sidebar and made it do daily posts instead. This gives me more of an archive of my tweets, and gives you guys a chance to comment on the stuff I’ve tweeted if you don’t actually follow me on Twitter, so don’t fret if you’re one of those people who just “doesn’t understand the point of Twitter” or downright hate it.
I would just like to add: Twitter + Facebook > MySpace… I’m in the process of deleting my MySpace account now.
Anyways, I do notice that most of the bloggers have turned to Twitter for the better or worse.. nobody knows. I do like the small status updates and I am always wondering the story behind intriguing tweets, but at the sametime I miss reading quality blog posts. I’m really torn with Twitter and its future but as a user I’m likin’ it thus far.
Agreed on MySpace and other walled garden social networks. Open APIs are the way to success!
As for the use of Twitter, as a user, if you see something interesting, you should @reply. The sooner the better. I’m sure you’ll get another tweet if not a full post about it. And as a blogger, how do you think it has changed your blogging habits?
