Twitter and blogging

I’ve been tweeting more and blogging less over the past few months.

Twitter seems to have grabbed the niche for the quick observations or links to share.

There are a number of longer posts I keep intending to write here in the blog. But in the meantime, if you’re interested, you can follow me on Twitter (orensr), and I’m posting the latest five tweets in the sidebar here on the blog.

I’m not the only who’s experiencing this – author Scott Rosenberg, in a Wired interview on his new book, Say Everything: How Blogging Began, What It’s Becoming, and Why It Matter, notes:

Wired: What impact has Twitter had on blogging?
Rosenberg: There have always been two types of blog posts: brief incidental blurts—really short one-line things, quick links—and more substantial statements. Twitter has taken that brief, blurting blogging and put it to rest. That pushes blogs toward a tradition of real writing.

Hopefully I’ll get back to some of that “real writing” soon.

Almost half of devices on UW WiFi network run OS X

I think it’s interesting that the May 2009 stats show that 47% of the unique devices on the UW’s WiFi network are either Macs or iPhone/iPod Touch devices. That’s a huge market share for OS X, and begin to show the significance of the mobile device use on campus.

More details are at David Morton’s Freshly Mobile blog.
