A blog is for longer form communication. And that makes Twitter an excellent way to reduce the lazysphere. Found a interesting news story, cool new site or tool and want to spread the word? Unless you have a unique perspective on the information, an interesting opinion of the site or a review of that tool then isn't a Twitter really the best way of letting your social net know about it rather than what would basically be a "me too" blog post? I find that Twittering keeps my blog posts targeted and useful though they may be less frequent. I'd say that's for the better. Twitter is for quick hits. A blog is for longer form communication.

Then again I don't blog professionally. I use twitter much like I used IRC earlier in life. When I have some time I'm there, and I converse, I look for ideas, or technical help. It's content that never would've shown up on my blog. On my blog I'm either witting essays on tech and religion; goofing around on Sci-FI or publishing some code. In the old days I managed 4 blogs and have consolidated it to one with a strong delineation of categories. The types of content aren't taht compatible. And where I'm always backing up my tweets into my blog for historical reasons, it's something on the side, not part of the blog.

Mostly saw it as a waste of time. Until I went to SOBCon08. That's when I decided to give it a shot. Surprisingly enough, I found it to be of help with traffic to my blog and as a way of staying in touch with others as long as I don't let it dominate my day. I don't think Twitter will ever replace blogs but I can see your point about how it could swing that way in some way. Blogs are more in depth with content that will last forever while Twitter does not. My 2 cents. Lorelle:

BTW can we find you on Twitter? :-) Joanna Lorelle, I’d agree with your analysis here – twitter can bring a lot of blog benefits, but shouldn’t be at the expense of your blog which is “virtual business card and resume”
