i didn't know twittering and blogging were mutually exclusive.

  Twittering and blogging have their own separate places. It's perfectly fine to engage in both of them. Or, you know, focus on one and occasionally visit the other.

  Opportunity cost.

    the way i see it, twittering lends itself to blogging and vice-versa. you hammer out a blog post then use twitter to get eyes on your post. plus, how much time could twitter possibly take from blogging? you can't get very much across in 140. symbiosis is the key

      Twitter kind of acts like rss

        Yes, and also as comments.

        Good point, I think I'll automate my twittering by converting my rss feed to tweets.

    because it is so hard to come up with 140 coherent characters of thought. seriously, if you can twitter and be coherent, what does that say about you?

  From the post: "As I alluded to in the title, I don’t mean for this to be an indictment of Twitter. I’m still going to be using it regularly for quick status updates or to notify followers when I have a new blog post ready. Like most shiny new things on the Interwebs, it’s all about finding the right tools for the job at hand."

  If you have enough time, they don't have to be. But if publishing is a side-venture, you probably need to make a choice.
