Twitter is a strange place. According to some statistics, the median time of a tweet is measured in minutes. That means that unless your tweet is re-tweeted multiple times, whatever you write it will likely never be read again. 

Welcome back to blogs, even the ones with short posts. It seems, in fact, that blogs with are making a comeback. Blogs are inherently more suited for easy search and retrieval, giving at the same time space for more in-depth analysis than Twitter. 

Marco Arment wrote something similar today, albeit with better language than me:

I don’t think avoiding Twitter is pragmatic if your audience is there, but it’s also unwise to dump all of your writing into bite-size pieces that are almost immediately skimmed over, forgotten, and lost to the vast depth of the mostly unsearchable, practically inaccessible Twitter archive.

Twitter is a complementary medium to blogging, but it’s not a replacement.

So happy writing, fellow bloggers.
