Twitter vs. Blog

Do you Twitter? I saw a post recently talking about Twittering as the new replacement for blogging. Personally, I've stayed away from Twitter by choice because (1) I don't need another time suck and (2) how many people really care what I do minute by minute?

I won't argue about the growing popularity of Twitter, but it's still far from replacing blogs. I have far more friends who blog than use Twitter, and every Twitter user I know is also a blogger.

P.S. Given the outage problems with Twitter, I'm surprised someone hasn't come along and built a better Twitter-like service.

Blogging causes death

This week, the New York Times published a story about the death of two bloggers. Although there was no definitive evidence that blogging caused their deaths, the story doesn't paint a pretty picture of the life of a blogger.

Don't worry folks, I don't spend much time on this blog. If I die, it won't be because of this blog. :-)
