Martin- I dont think that is a bad thing; twitter really is more fluid and easy for conversational flow. But there is still room, place for longer ideas in the blog space. Twitter is like a stream of stuff that flows away, off the edges, down the cracks of oblivion- my blog is more bedrock. Or fools gold.

I think your graph could be titled ‘The impact of twitter on blog comments’ – the date pretty much corresponds to te arrival of twitter as a major force, and much of the conversation has shifted there. I keep meaning to comment more on blogs, heaven knows I value comments on my own one enough, but yet don’t seem to do it. This is me having another attempt…

It was funny, Alan.. recently i was on twitter, and picked up someone’s messages from a conference. Of course i had to backtrack about 5-6 comments to work out what on earth they were talking about.

i’d find it so much more useful if that person would wait until the end of the session, and then write a quick paragraph summarising what had been covered. So i could read it sequentially, and with some depth of thought.

Imagine if every time you read an article, you posted a tweet per paragraph.. that’s what these conference twitter sessions are like. (Though i do admit the real time updates can be great for people *at* the conference.)

No, blogging isn’t over.. it’s just the fields of communication tools and strategies keep getting more vast and intricate.

enjoy your break,
michael

Thanks for making this post Alan. As usual you have a great way of sharing an observation and working it through using the tools at your fingertips and making it all seem easy. Great way to model what you bark!

I’ve seen you around the yard, Pyesetz, and any dog flavored blog gets some attention, whether it is August or February
