  That tweet is too compressed to be googled effectively. The difficulty in internet searching is finding how to describe the problem effectively. Just yesterday I was doing research on algorithms for a graph traversal problem. Since my knowledge on graph theory is pretty low, googling was more of a hierarchy. First I had to google the words I needed to know before I could search effectively for a solution.

  Yeah, but you are not imparting actual knowledge through the tweets. You are sharing a link to where knowledge can be found. You could also share a link to, you know, a blog. And you are certainly not growing as a developer by tweeting that, where as the author of the article made the claim that having a blog will develop you as a programmer.

That's like when you're looking up a word in a dictionary and once you find it, you're told to look up another word. A waste of time.
