Twitter: The Blog Replacement

Posted in Learning show hide 10 comments

This will be short and sweet and is really a plea to you Twitterers.

Twitter is great. I have made many connections via Twitter.

Blogs are great.  I have made many connections via Blogs.

I have noticed, though, that I haven’t made many blog connections since Twitter blew up.

Again, love Twitter…..but Twitterers, hear this:

DON’T STOP BLOGGING!

It’s great to get 140 character spurts of your life, your ministry, etc., but it just doesn’t compare to the in depth posts of your blog.  I follow your blogs because I find what you write to be interesting.  I can’t watch Twitter all day long and although Tweetdeck is awesome, I’m not scrolling through thousands of tweets after being away for awhile.

I’ve subscribed to your blog……WRITE A POST!

Thanks….That’s all.

    I'm with you on this one!

    Agreed. Great point.

    100% agreement especially since I don't Twitter and have no desire to do so. Call me old or old-fashioned. Seems to be less and less blog traffic though.

      Yeah, I think the Twitter 140 characters starts to become too easy to pass up. Sad really….there are some talented writers out there missin the boat :D

    I have both but have been having a hard time balancing them and family so the blog and twitter has been pushed aside. I just started tossing out a couple tweets here and there and I'll post when I can actually think of something to say…but after two years, my life is going in a different direction. Besides, I started my blog as a personal journal and not to build up a large readership (although, I do like having readers).

      I can absolutely understand where family is obviously a little higher on the priority list than social media. I guess I'll let you slide :-) .
      Will pray your new direction brings you new found joy!
      Take care….and when you write, I'll be there to read :-)

    My "enemy" right now is downsizing the past 20+ years of my life! It may be mid-Sept before I am rolling with everything again. I hardly ever miss a Stats Suck Sunday, but did this week. Today should be a positive post. Maybe. But, I want to continue with blogging when I get settled. Thanks for all your advice & all the pics of the new sweet boy & his really wonderful Grandmama. :)

    Golly, I sure am glad I never promised you I'd blog!!! ROTFLMBO

    I don't blog because I seem to offend plenty enough people with a mere 140 characters, and sometimes less! But that's just the efficiency expert in me. (:-p) However, I did promise you (and a handful of chosen few) that I'd forward the chapters of my life, one at a time, as God gives me the courage to do so.

    I understand completely how you feel and I truly hope that your blog friends get at 'er once again.

      Looking forward to the "chapters"
