Comments on: Tweet Less, Blog More http://blog.aisleten.com/2009/06/10/tweet-less-blog-more/ Late nights eventually pay off Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:05:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: John Lampard http://blog.aisleten.com/2009/06/10/tweet-less-blog-more/#comment-2799 John Lampard Thu, 11 Jun 2009 05:18:04 +0000 http://blog.aisleten.com/?p=543#comment-2799 I could never see Twitter taking the place of blogs. And while very few people probably see anything I tweet, as someone who is sometimes working alone, I see Twitter much like the on-going open conversations that can take place in offices, where you pipe up with a random thought, or simply jump in on a discussion that happens to catch your attention. A substitute water-cooler rather than anything to be taken *too* seriously :) I could never see Twitter taking the place of blogs.

I think Twitter's immediacy and simpleness makes it more about people talking than people listening. The ratio is still too unbalanced.

If you have something important to say, say it on your blog. Otherwise I'll never see it. I don't consider twitter a blog replacement. Maybe it could supplement it, or help gather info, but the end result is the blog post. I tried following people on twitter but it fails to capture my interest.

Of those 5% that had been updated, I wonder what percent had the most recent update as, "Sorry I've been away. I'll be back to blog very soon!" Ha!

All good reasons above to keep going http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/07/fashion/07blogs.html?_r=1&ref=todayspaper According to a 2008 survey by Technorati, which runs a search engine for blogs, only 7.4 million out of the 133 million blogs the company tracks had been updated in the past 120 days. That translates to 95 percent of blogs being essentially abandoned, left to lie fallow on the Web, where they become public remnants of a dream — or at least an ambition — unfulfilled.

If someone doesn't RT or reply to one of mine, I feel like I'm farting into the wind. I’ve always followed your tweets, but I see what you mean.
