What is it about Twitter?
As I said yesterday, I find it easy to write daily on Twitter. Usually several times a day, in fact. I got to wondering why that is when I find it so hard to write even a minimal blog post sometimes. Here’s what I came up with.
Why Twitter is easy for me and blogging isn’t:
- No worries. I don’t have to think about the design of my tweet. Everyone is looking at it in their own app for the most part. I don’t even have to particularily care about the content. If my tweet isn’t interesting to someone, it’ll flow right by them in the twitter stream. Spelling is also optional. Gotta love it.
- Instant feedback. No begging for comments and insights. If what I’ve posted is interesting, someone will retweet it immediately. If it’s really interesting, the post will be retweeted many times. Probably without giving me credit a few times, oh well.
- Not being confined into subject matter. If I say this blog is about WordPress, most of what I publish here better be about WordPress (or whatever the subject matter of my blog really is). On Twitter, I’m not locked into anything. I can post a CSS site I find interesting one minute and a YouTube video of Long John Baldry the next. My Twitter stream is much more me than my blog is as strange as that sounds.
I am going to find a way to make my blog more comfortable for me and to share my tweets with people here on my site a little easier. In the meantime, maybe you’d like to follow me on Twitter.
