Twitter – How Blogging Will Never Be The Same Again
Twitter has exploded onto the scene. With the growth of Twitter has come a big shift in the way people are interacting with blogs.
Previously, if you did something interesting, people might reference it on their blogs. But now in the age of Twitter, many people mention your stuff on Twitter.
This can be good IF:—– they have thousands of Twitter followers.
BUT IF most the people mentioning a topic are all in the same small tight knit space then you are only reaching a fraction of a fraction of the potential distribution you would have before the age of Twitter.
Blogs become popular by being mentioned lots of times on other popular blogs. It’s not complicated.
So it’s very hard to become popular using social networks alone. If blog readers are deciding to spread interesting links via Twitter instead of blogging about it on their own sites then new blogs will struggle to gain readership.
There is a decision to be made if integrating Twitter on your blog – more people Tweeting your posts or more people leaving blog comments. If you don’t leave comments on blogs you’re probably in the “Twitter is more important” camp. You know what – jury’s out for me.
Come on, hit me with it!

If all you care about is people reading your blog then twitter is great. Just because people are not commenting, does not mean they aren’t reading. I think there needs to be a balance of commenting and tweeting though. Concentrating on just one means you are missing a lot of potential traffic.
