Twitter: The Blog Replacement

by Pastor T on Aug 18th in Our Life

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

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.

Buzz it!

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

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.
