This, pretty much. I do have a blog, but 1) it's mildly more annoying to update, 2) I have >30K Twitter followers, I assume maybe 5 people have my RSS feed in a reader somewhere, and 3) I didn't actually expect it to turn out this long, but I was already typing things up into the Twitter boxes, so shrug, and 4) Twitter seems to be the place for this sort of discussion these days; my blog doesn't even have comments. I'll use my blog for long technical posts though. Those make more sense there.

Of course, you can/should link to the blog from Twitter. But clicking through is still some friction so Twitter alone sort of substitutes for the one or two paragraph blogpost "sketches" I used to write. (I preach creating a blog version of longer threads but I don't really do it myself in practice.)
