Since joining Facebook mid-2008, I find that my blog posts have become longer and more substantial. It’s just easier–and received by a wider audience–to update my FB status (which is essentially the same as a Twitter “tweet”). I think the stratification of blogging into “micro” and more substantial posts is a good thing, for two reasons. First, it opens up the medium to more people who might be intimidated by writing a full post but are happy to jot off 140 characters. Second, it (hopefully) will return some substance to blog posts: research, analysis, photos, links, etc. At least, that’s what I’m striving for.
