“Why Write When You Can Twitter?”, asks Liz Strauss; http://is.gd/qEs. – But isn’t tweeting extremely focused writing?

Most people can’t get by an introduction in 140 characters, let alone create a tweet that resembles something interesting. I wish some people were forced to tweet rather then ramble to some conclusion.

True. – And it’s the 14o characters restriction that brought me back to blogging.

That, and the restrictions on the number of times you can post because of system loads. Twitter can find a purpose, but blogs that help organize thoughts and make it easy to find information will always have a place in the hearts of many.

I believe that twitter will exceed its current functionality and will become more bloggish in future. Still, I didn’t want to wait for it… And for sure: ‘classical blogging’ is going to survive.
