I agree that Twitter results in fewer (by far) comments on our blogs. Much easier to push a button to retweet than compose an intelligent comment. Does it hurt bloggers though? I guess we shall see…

I don’t know why but this is fact that i think that twitter is not user friendly or kind of slow ..like you don’t have much features in it

Twitter I love the attention it gets lol. But seriously my google reader isn’t read as much anymore thanks to twitter. I just think the twitter deal is the new way.

Hey you have heard Television viewers are down incredibly over the last 2 years. Maybe we can blame that on twitter

If people are switching from reading RSS feeds to Twitter, then what was all the screaming about sites that didn’t provide a full feed? So a partial feed = bad but just a post title and a link = OK?

Call me confused.

If Google isn’t careful, searches in the little publicized, but very powerful and current, search.twitter.com will start to erode the Google dominance.

I can’t wait 🙂

Just one thing, there is always a limit to what you can convey in 140 characters. I personally utilize twitter to point to my blog when I post and vice versa, have twitter updates appear live within my blog. I’ve tired to unify the two and see twitter as another tool, rather than the death of my blog.

By the way, I am afraid that soon manual link building will become important again. Who knows, maybe free and paid directories will come back as well as new forms of link farms and link exchanges.

Yep, people became lazy and it is easier for them to tweet than to give a link from their site / blog.

too funny that the majority of the comments on this post were “originally posted on Twitter”. 🙂

LOL. look at this thread with all ‘Twitter comments’. Quite frankly, it’s one big retweet mess, seriously crippling the usability of any blog. Who cares reading comments if a blog like this is flooded with this nonsense. I bet your average ‘time on site’ is DROPPING FAST compared to the pre-Twitter era.

So, how come others didn’t drop 300% in Technorati ranking? Because your blog is promoting the (abuse) of Twitter, destabalizing your entire link profile?
