forget about blogging and start tweeting?

Yeah, I have finally jumped on the Twitter bandwagon. Aside from the fact that my boss is in my FB friend’s list — I actually prefer twitter over Facebook  when it comes to updating status and tracking/checking out what peepz have been doing and thinking at a near real-time set-up.

At first, I just found Twitter stupid and illogical. I mean, you update your status, and then what? It’s already public? And there’s also that question, “So, WHO CARES?”

But slowly, I began to appreciate its purpose.

Microblogging is such a good outlet where you can blurt out almost anything… more of letting your mind speak freely. Everything is instant and thoughts can manageably be accommodated to a 140-character post. This is also the very reason why I haven’t been updating this blog for a month already.

Yes, it’s been keeping me away from this site. I even tweeted about this. “i.ph: ur not blogging anymor. rhardo points @ twitter: bird’s fault. it’s makng me post some 140-char topics intended supposedly 4 blogging.” See? LOL.

I don’t know, but shorter posts seemed perfect for people like me who hate composing long entries or simply do not enjoy writing.

But Twitter will always remain what it was really created for. And whether you like it or not, a 140-character post isn’t enough. You’ll always go back to blogging, am I right or am I right? And you can’t post images in your posts, so this simple fact gives you the reason why you shouldn’t stop blogging. But then again, I’m talking about Twitter here… how ironic! Anyways, you get the point, right?

Here are some of my posts on Twitter that I’d like to share with you. As of this writing, I’ve already made 929 tweets in a few-months’ span. NUTZ!
