IF: You are a blogger,
AND IF: I have bothered to sign up as a follower on Twitter,
THEN: You may conclude that I already read your blog.
IF: I am savvy enough to follow you on Twitter,
THEN: I am probably also savvy enough to be aware of RSS feeds for blogs.
THEREFORE: You do not need to tweet every time you have a new blog post up,
BECAUSE: My RSS reader will let me know.
CONCLUSION: Please make your tweets more interesting.

Why would I Twitter?
ReplyDeleteI can't keep track of what I'm doing most of the time.
I thought twitter was something caused by too much caffiene.
ReplyDeleteI am sooo behind the times.
DocV,
ReplyDeleteNo, those are jitters, unless you are in a more upscale, possibly alternative lifestyle, caffeinery.
In any case, stay away from the tweaker set. :-)
I barely have enough time to blog let alone Twitter.
ReplyDeleteERP,
ReplyDeleteI think the idea is that you Twitter about why you are not blogging. :-)
