Twitter Turned My Blog Into A Ghost Town
|
As you may (or may not) have noticed I havn't been posting much at brainbackup.net lately. But don't mistake my lack of posts for having little to talk about or laziness. No I blame it all on twitter. Every big thought and small action I have taken over the last few months has poured out of me in the form of mini sub 140 character posts on twitter. And my blog isn't the only tech that misses me... I am sending less email, using less instant messaging, making less phone calls and sending almost zero text messages. How has this tiny service that hardly anyone knows about replacing almost all of my other forms of communication?
Writing a blog post or email is time consuming. Sure I love to back up my thoughts in their full entirety on the blog, but is it really necessary? Lately I find myself condensing thoughts, projects and ideas I have been working on for days, weeks or even months into short 140 character twits.
I could go on all day about the various reasons you should be using twitter but I will just leave it at this:
Twitter makes sharing and communicating dead simple. (and thats only 52 characters)
Convincing people that twitter is actually useful and makes life easier is a hard sell. To most, it seems like another time consuming activity to throw into the mix. Try explaining it like this: Imagine meeting a ton of new people and never sending a text message, updating your facebook status or emailing someone a link ever again. That usually does the trick. They will figure out the million other uses for twitter on their own once they give it a shot
So if you want to know what I have been up to for the last few months just hop over to my twitter profile. I am going to try posting more detailed thoughts, projects and ideas on the blog again, but no guarantees. Either way you can follow both by just following me on twitter.
Dont even bother commenting on this article. Just reply to the twit of this article that was automatically posted to twitter via twitterfeed. |
