Blogging and Twitter, Which first?

Blogging is an easy way to earn if you are a really good writer. That’s why people start blogging! Blogging is like anything else, it takes a lot of hard work and patience. At the end, success rate for making money with a blog is probably lower than someone making money by starting their own business. Blogging is a tool — one of many — that can help journalists and writers of all types connect with readers, communicate information and help people make sense of our increasingly complicated world. Blogging won’t solve everything, and in five, 10 or 20 years or sooner, something may replace it.

Twitter is like a breath of fresh air on the Social Media scene. I have been on it for just a few weeks now and I have met several interesting people. Twitter offers instant content and reaction. Writing a blog post is a lot harder than posting a status update, putting a funny link on someone's Wall, or tweeting. Twitter is to blame for my poor responsiveness on e-mail as well. I once used to type long letters on e-mail.

Twitter is the realtime stream of a conscious water cooler conversation, whereas blogging is the realm of more studied, more directed writing and conversation. Twitter on the other hand provides real time updates on the people you are following. True this is more “blog like” but I always feel left wanting to know more. Twitter also brought me here. I view it as a linking platform to draw more attention to my slow blog and keep up with other slow blogs.
