How Twitter has changed the Blogosphere, but not in the way you think

Notes

Twitter has changed the blogosphere by fundamentally shifting the appeal of casual sharing from blogs to Twitter itself. Where as once upon a time everyone wanted or eventually had a blog to share their thoughts, today much of that has shifted to Twitter.

I think this is quite true. I actually struggle now with blogging, where before it came so easy to me. Now, when I write a blog - I think of it as a permanent, SEO-driven, and lengthy post. I used to not mind just sharing a link on my blog, but now I feel that Twitter and Facebook are the place for that.

A blog post is noteworthy when I have something longer and meaningful to say. When I want to pose questions in which I can refer to the answers. When I feel the need to educate others in a searchable and more permanent way. Although, this Posterous is a hybrid of Twitter and a Blog, on my other sites like Cuppycake.org I feel the need to be more long-winded and less casual due to Twitter.
