Twitter Killed the (Sex) Blog

Everybody quickly caught onto the twittering phenomenon. It's a very fast form of saying what you want in 140 quick characters. Some use it as advertising, which I don't think is necessary because whoever winds up on your twitter page will see your link to your blog. For me, it's a way of saying what's on your mind at that said moment. It's sort of like a custom away messenger on yahoo but you can some how get followers by doing this. I may do this but I try not to, but some bloggers tend to ramble. Rambling is good but sometimes it's bad. You might get an idea about something out of one of those random tweets but sometime no information is given.

When I first started reading blogs, I would pick someones blogroll and read what they read themselves. With twitter, you read whatever tweets that the twitterer is following or who is following them. Sometimes the twitterers are spam, like you will find all over the internet thinking that people will be gullible.

I wonder how we can all get back to blogging or was it just a fad started in '03-'04? Maybe blogging about this particular subject is bland because every one knows each other instead of being all, wow, I wish I knew that person (like we were so long ago). Maybe we need to ask readers what they like or dislike or we could just use our own opinion since this about what we want to say ourselves.

Sometimes I want to tell a person about my blog but then I feel like I'll be giving a little too much information away although it doesn't have enough info as others may have. Do we keep this stuff quiet until the time is right or what?

I have no idea why I'm asking these questions, but if anyone does read this, please leave a comment. :)

I guess I'm a little confused as to what the problem is. For me twittering is an entirely separate process from blogging. I maintain a tumblr account and twitter account for the blogs that I want to publicize, and if I don't want a blog to be linked to an account, I just don't link it. BTW, I found your blog through your tweets! More power to us Okies!
