My brother Tony blogged the other day about his thoughts on Twitter in comparison to Blogging.
Some key takeaways from him:
- Twitter is easier to scan. Less is more. People gravitate to shorter messages.
- Twitter is more social. It’s easier to engage the crowd around a brief shot of wisdom or a story or a question.
- Twitter is more viral. It’s easy to grab an insight and share it with friends.
- Twitter is more intuitive. To follow someone, I just click “follow.” Blogs still require a bit of an understanding of RSS feeds.
The net-net result of his thoughtlog is that he’d rather Tweet it up than blog. No problem with that sir!
I’d say, in response, that Twitter is making blogs better.
