Is Twitter the New Blog?

It's funny. At first, I thought twitter was really stupid. People's twits (one or two sentence blogs) seemed unimportant, irrelevant to what I was interested in, and lacked any substance. Why would I want to waste my time reading what some random person in the middle of nowhere is doing? Well, the answer is I wouldn't. That doesn't mean twitter isn't great.

I've started to develop a group of people I follow (respectable people) and the end result is I learn about news that is relevant to me faster than a non twitter reader would.

It reminds me of the days when blogging just took off. Lots of junk. But when you find someone with substance, it's worth it.
