I just noticed that I've updated my Twitter feed nine times in the last 24 hours. Compared to zilch on this blog for about two weeks. Here's why I prefer Tweeting:
1/ Tweets are short. 140 characters max. Short is sweet. Even poetic
2/ Tweets are easy to post, especially since my lovely new BlackBerry arrived.
3/ My Tweets are read. I have an audience. It is not big - I have only 30 "followers" - but they are actual people who, for whatever reason, want to read my 140-character-max messages.
4/ Tweets seem more disposable, although I don't know if they are. Blog posts hang around on the web. If I delete them, they'll hide in a cache somewhere. I don't want my trace to be that permanent.
I suppose I should try harder. Instead, here's a picture of my dog, and of the place where I took her for a walk this morning.
