HOW TWITTER COULD REPLACE BLOGGING...

Twitter is a world wide phenomenon in microblogging. The world wide web never sleeps and it does so in 140 characters or less. We learn about the lives of strangers, build friendships, network with those who share our interests, and keep up with friends and family, and Twitter is responsible for all of this. Twitter brings a whole new meaning to social networking with its combination of instantaneous gratification and ability to reach a larger audience in less time than Myspace or Facebook could ever possibly imagine reaching.

The blogosphere is brimming with blogs across dozens of blog networks. Such sites as Wordpress.com and Blogger.com host millions of blogs around the world.

Rather, blogging is actually picking up more speed!

- Twitter replaces blogging?

Twitter, though its useful as a microblogging tool, will never replace conventional blogging. While it acts as a complimentary system to traditional blogging, Twitter enhances the blogosphere rather than replaces it. Twitter widgets can be seen on blogs around the web and those without the widget almost invariably have the "Follow me on Twitter" buttons. Twitter compliments blogging, it doesn't replace it.

The simple fact is, Twitter will never tell the whole story. It's meant to entice, to convey short messages and feelings, but not to give a complete picture. Blogging, on the other hand, is the worlds chosen media. Blogs serve everyone from small personal bloggers to major corporations and networks. They serve as a way to communicate and teach in a complete and meaningful way.

So, tweet away, but keep on blogging too. The good news is that tweeting and blogging are 100% compatible!
