Blogging vs. Microblogging

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

with blogging so ubiquitous that I feel it must be a huge burden for bloggers to actually fill one to several paragraphs daily, and with the sudden crash of Twitter into, if not the mainstream, then critical mass, I’m feeling that I do learn more, or at least more quickly,  from the bite-size tweets that roll thru Tweetdeck than I could by following bloggers. Twitter’s my news ticker. I don’t really want or need lengthy musings from most sources. So that said, the next two blog posts will consist entirely of my last ten Twitter updates prior to each post.
