    Well maybe. In high school I knew I couldn't write that great so rather then writing a ton of little blog entries I tried to take time to write full essay type entries that I could polish a bit (they were still horrible looking back). Over the years my writing has improved and some of that can be attributed to all the blog entries I wrote (or started to write).

  The thing is that blogging in itself encourages more organized thinking about a topic. When you go to write a blog entry, you inevitably find that what was in your head is not nearly as coherent as it needs to be in order to write it down. Writing it down forces you to put your thoughts in more order. Do it enough and your thinking naturally becomes more organized in general. You know, like programming does for you. So blogging in itself does have some value. Tweeting only has the value of forcing you to select what seems most interesting. Which is still of some value.
