Some Bail on Blogs in Favor of Twitter

Nick Wilson says he has unsubscribed from 100 blogs in favor of following their Twitter streams instead. That's a radical move right now, but as Twitter grows I bet we'll see more of it. I have heard this from a few folks. In the interest of presenting both sides of the issue, there's also a Twitter backlash too.

Twitter is getting me to re-think about where and how I publish. What I love about Twitter is that I can easily publish on the go. That's a boon since I tend to be very mobile. Of course I can do this with TypePad, but the format of blogging really doesn't lend itself well to posting a lot on the go. You would unsubscribe if I posted 15 messages a day here with 160 characters each.

Where I am thinking of going is this: I will micro blog very actively on Twitter (feed) throughout the day (and night) and I will use my blog to publish longer pieces. The link round-ups will continue as is. So, basically I am thinking of keeping MP at 80% of what it is now (in terms of volume of posts, quality remains the same), but for those of you who want more you can get it in my Twitter stream.

This is not set in stone yet. I want to see how Twitter shakes out. It could be a fad. Further, I am open to your ideas here. Thoughts?
