Twitter is gaining | Blogging is Losing

Now a days Im Very lazy to blog coz one side Twitter is gaining !!! Yeah Micro-blogging is on the way.I like to express thing in simple ways….on mobile i love sms in lieu of blah-blah. just go through http://twitter.com/raneez

What’s amazing about that is how quickly Twitter useage has caught up with and then surpassed blogging. I’ve been blogging for 4 years now. I’ve only been on Twitter for about 18 months. Most of the growth on Twitter has happened within just the last 3 months.

The big question iswhy?Why is Twitter growing so rapidly? Here are a few theories I have:

• Twitter is easier to scan. Less is more. People gravitate to shorter messages.
• Twitter is more social. It’s easier to engage the crowd around a brief shot of wisdom or a story or a question.
• Twitter is more viral. It’s easy to grab an insight and share it with friends.
• Twitter is more intuitive. To follow someone, I just click “follow.” Blogs still require a bit of an understanding of RSS feeds.

I love to blog because I enjoy writing. Honestly, though, I’d rather Twitter. Part of the reason is that it’s more of a natural flow of what I’m experiencing, learning and processing. Part of the reason I prefer it is because the haters haven’t figured it out yet. People are friendlier and less divisive on Twitter than they are with my blog. I’m not sure why, but that’s currently the case.

People want to feel connected. Reading a blog is much like reading a book. The author is providing great insite and you can line up perfectly with his/her line of thinking but in the end there is no personal connection. Where as, twittering gives me a personal connection in that not only do we know what is going on in your life but Twitter provides a direct path of communication to the person being followed. This feeling of acceptance can be addicting.

Facebook used for writing notes and twitter integration..totally sucks my net time…have a look on Tims blog

Anyway I will be blogging..coz Lots of movies waiting !!!! up next blog…till then masalama.
