  Microblogging: ‘the gateway drug to social media’ by The Bryper Blog

Alright, I admit, I’m addicted to blogging. I’m currently on a quest to blog 365 days straight, now not all of those posts will be here, on my personal blog, but across the web on the multiple sites that I contribute to.

The thing is, part what I love about blogging is getting other people to blog as well. Bryan Person hit the nail on the head in this recent post where he equates microblogging (a la ) as the gateway drug to .

And he’s right, it is much easier to Tweet and Pownce, and Jaiku your way into blogging. Now if only we could figure out a good way to ‘explain to me’ to all those out there who haven’t tried it yet… hmmm… another blog post tomorrow?

    Jonathan, good luck in your quest to blog for 365 days — that doesn’t include microblogging, right?

    I’ve actually found that my Twitterings have led to a decrease in blogging output on my main Bryper.com. However, I’ve actually found Twitter to be *more* effective than my main blog in stimulating conversations and discussions. Twitter has also been my No. 1 tool, by far, in building my personal network.

    The length of short microblog posts may be short, but the impact is huge!

Got something to say?
