Twitter and blog are different and can coexist

I agree Adam. Blogging is longer form thinking, complete with analysis and rich context. Tweets are great for quick hit engagements with others. They’re complementary, not competitive in terms of use cases. One point of “competition”, if you will, is the amount of time one has in a day to do either.

One other note – tweets and FriendFeed entries do show up in search results. I recently ran a search for my company, “Connectbeam”, and Enterprise 2.0 industry analyst Mike “Gotta”, you will see tweets and FriendFeed entries in the results. Not at the top, but they’re in there. Link to search: http://bit.ly/f28s

Twitter won’t kill blogging. Fewer people may blog, of course, as Twitter is so much easier to post on. IMHO though, the quality writers of blogs won’t transition over to Twitter out of laziness. Blogs are still an important resource for getting industry information that major news outlets have never and would never and will never have the time to fully explore.

If anything, the only blogs that will die away because of Twitter are the ones written by people who aren’t well suited to that format.

Excellent insights. Content-rich quality blogs will only be helped by micro-blogging and if less driven bloggers only micro-blog that will be no great loss.

I see blogs less linearly than many bloggers. To me they are reference sites and I structure my own to make it easy to select a topic and quickly see all of the posts relevant to that subject.
