Twitter vs. Blogging

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

My friend Gabe Alonso brought up a pretty good question today:

Is there even a point to have a blog if you can micro-blog on Twitter?

The answer… Yes Microblogging tools like Tumblr or even the Facebook Status bar are great for getting the word out about something… but blogging is good for videos, pictures, etc. There’s also more reasons. Here’s why:

1.) You can monetize a blog. Yes there are sites like Mag-Pie

2.) Work Together. If you have a successful Youtube or Blip.TV show then you can simply use Twitter as an RSS status update to bring people to your site

3.) Host videos and Pictures. Twitter acts as a Press Release feature, and you’ll have to send a link to your media (photo, audio, video) which will probably be hosted on your site (unless you drive traffic to your Youtube page – which isn’t smart for Personal Branding)
4.) Being Legit. Blogs are still seen as a ’serious’ thing. I feel it makes a business ‘legit’ and ‘official’. When I go on someone’s Twitter age I STILL check to see f they have a website. In fact, I’ve been known to not follow people on Twitter because of their lack of a website.

5.) More exposure. The way to gain a community is to “Take a little here, and take a little there.” So, to rule out blogging or Twittering (tweeting) is a bad move, because the internet is free, and to market to many venues is more exposure.

Why should I Twitter if I blog?

In short, it follows the same track a Facebook Status and Twitter Updates. Two similar functions, but 2 completely different purposes, which can usually work together!

i completely agree with you walt and i’m sure gabe prompted you as a means to provoke thought into the matter bc im sure theres people out there who solely use twitter.

i use twitter for fleeting thoughts and expressions or simple statements on what i’m doing at the moment. twitter is a small piece of someone’s digital identity which also include blogging, myspace, facebook, etc. it should never be seen as something greater than it truly is, so i’m glad gabe brought it up.
