Finding time: To blog or to tweet !?

Lately I’ve been having problems finding time to write on my blog… that and the fact that I’m tweeting all my ideas.

I think that it’s faster to get the information out there using Twitter. Let me explain:

• you have to write only 140chars (including the link to a useful resource)
• you can do it very fast using a desktop client like TweetDeck
• you don’t have to think of a catchy title
• you don’t have to find appropriate tags
• you don’t have to write meta tags, meta descriptions and excerpts

Probably there are more reasons for using Twitter, but there’s one thing you cannot do on it, and that’s write something credible and of authority. If you have an article or tutorial to write, you just cannot sum it up in 140 characters.

So I realized that I have to find time to write all my ideas and facts I’ve come across on the blog and afterwards comment about it on twitter !

I hope to find time to write some new articles as soon as possible, as right now I have at least 5-6 topics.

You can follow me on twitter at http://twitter.com/mihaibojin, and I’ll most certainly follow you back if you’re not a bot and you have at least some remote interest about coding and/or technology !
