I can't begin to imagine how much effort that takes.mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363852738191757748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594625.post-50319021591996286472007-05-10T10:29:00.000+08:002007-05-10T10:29:00.000+08:00I would add that twitter is easier too because you...I would add that twitter is easier too because your topic is already chosen: "What are you doing?"... You needn't think about the point/purpose/thesis of a tweet... it's almost always focused on answering that simple question. <BR/><BR/>It also helps that there's a character restriction... it's hard to have any expectations of quality when you are limited to so few letters. <BR/><BR/>(Which suggests an interesting unrelated idea: "twitter as art," with each tweet striving to be deep, meaningful statements constrained within space limitations... someone should try it...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594625.post-63551620298387087042007-05-09T23:37:00.000+08:002007-05-09T23:37:00.000+08:00Hi Drew.

Great to see you here. <BR/><BR/>I know a lot of people have felt less inclined to blog after they started Twittering. <BR/><BR/>My guess -- people find it easier to post Twitter updates because they know their followers don't expect anything wise or brilliant via Twitter. There are no expectations to live up to.mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363852738191757748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594625.post-57280459553932423492007-05-09T04:31:00.000+08:002007-05-09T04:31:00.000+08:00I used to be a more consistent blogger than I am n...I used to be a more consistent blogger than I am now.
