Cheating On My Blogging With Twitter

I have resolved to get back to posting to a couple of blogs that I have neglected lately.

Trying to understand how I got there.

Was I lazy?  Sure, always a bit, but that is not it.

Did I run out of things to say?  Unlikely.

I blame Twitter.

Now, I am no 7×24 mad tweeter, but I have had several people mention lately… “Are you on Twitter ALL the time???”

I am not, but I also NEVER had a similar question asked of me regarding blogs.

So, why?  Here are some initial thoughts…

• Twitter is easy and quick.  I love easy and quick
• Twitter is short.  I find most of my insight can indeed be executed in 140 characters
• Twitter seems to connect me to others better – I have more regular tweet readers than blog readers

That being said, this was kinda nice.  Got to use multiple sentences… spell check… even bullets!!

Worthwhile considering this in a business context.  You want people with good thoughts in them to share them.   They might be willing to do that, but will want the easiest path.  It is probably not and either/or thing, but matching the right person to the right tool could help you succeed.
