Twitter or Blog: The People Have Spoken

Thanks to everyone who left feedback to my last post. The comments were incredibly valuable.

Twitter, like the blogosphere, Facebook, YouTube and every other community, is going to develop its own ecosystem. Some will love it, others will hate it. Some of you will opt for grazing on my Twitter tweets, others will stick to reading my blog. As many have pointed out, one won't replace the other. The trick is to get them to augment each other just as my linkblog or Scoble's adds value to the mother ship.

So, basically I will do both. I haven't netted out how I will use Twitter. It will probably just become a moblog. I like the ability to pose questions and get back responses within minutes. That's not always the case with my blog. Further, I recognize that too much Twittering is bad. It floods people. Less is more is the overall mantra over there (at least that was the intent) and I may use it to just land thoughts. Time will tell.

However, you will all be happy to know this blog remains as is. I wouldn't let you down. But I reserve the right to experiment with Twitter and see where it goes. You can opt into one or both or neither. Your choice. (Oh and this is the last full post here on Twitter this week!)
