Tweets are much more ephemeral than blogs. Longform writing indeed is a great avenue for working with ideas, and letting them take root.
But getting engagement from blogging is much harder. It takes much longer for blogs to get popular. Walled gardens like twitter are much more convinient for people to get into. More importantly, due to network effect, it is much harder to get engagement outside.
