Blogging is developing an argument, Twitter is having an argument.
- quickthrower2 3y agoBlogging is brain dumping something I thought was interesting I worked on. Slight hope it boosts my career somewhere down the line.

- kevindamm 3y agoBlogging is for hit posts, tweeting is for ... something that rhymes with hit posts
- philipov 3y agoYou must be thinking of "bit posts", because they're so small :p
- quickthrower2 3y agolit posts, quit posts, split posts, nit posts, hiit posts, writ posts, flit posts, reddit posts, whatchamacallit posts …
- bryanrasmussen 3y agoit was obviously pit posts, like posts you throw into the everlasting pit of damnation.
- orthoxerox 3y agoNo it isn't, to quote Monty Python. You can't productively argue with someone by splitting your position into 280-character-long bites, each of which can be easily quoted out of context.
- brlewis 3y agoThe problem isn't that Twitter is split into small bites. Essays do that with paragraphs and sentences as well. It's that Twitter is not structured in a way conducive to conveying an argument.
- bryanrasmussen 3y agoyou're not conveying an argument, you're having an argument - which will never be resolved. The best you can hope for is that one of you blocks the other without wasting too many hours of life.
