More Twitter, Less Blogging
July 22nd, 2008
Has anyone else noticed that they tend to blog less since becoming a Twitter addict? I sure have…
I’m planning on fixing this by first of all including my Twitter feed on the blog one way or another. And then of course, to also focus more on blogging itself.
It’s just so quick and easy to get your thoughts out using Twitter. You’re limited to 160 characters, so there’s no point or need to write a draft, then review and/or edit it before you post your +500 word rant/review/news/whatever to the world.
Also, in my case, I’ve got an iPhone, which just makes Twitter even more addictive cause you’ve always got access to it 24/7 no matter where you are.
But now I’ve also got quick and easy access to my blog here thanks to the iPhone native WordPress app. Which means I don’t have to worry about how much GPRS is gonna cost to load up my blog in Safari to post something.
I think I’m gonna start blogging more along the Twitter style, like this post I’m writing now on my iPhone using the WordPress app. So please excuse any spelling and/or grammatical errors

Two words: Twitter Tools ( and a url - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-tools/ )
Be aware though, the timestamps from the Twitter API are a bit screwy.

I still can’t get around to twitting…
Maybe it only makes sense for a mobile platform…

George: Its true that it does get a lot more appealing when you’ve got a Twitter client handy on your phone. However, I also have Twitterific running 24/7 on my Mac, which is generally the client I use the most. But Windows users weren’t left with much decent client choices last I was hunting for one. I seriously hope that’s changed by now (8 months later), or that someone writes a decent client damn soon.
