I have to say, I use Twitter a lot more than I update this place and that is mainly for one reason: time. With Twitter it is much quicker and easier to just update your status and start a conversation than it is generating a post on the blog. I also get the feeling that Twitter is much more social and enjoy the interaction with fellow tweeters.

I sometimes think casual readers are missing out on the more entertaining bits that happen on Twitter, which is why I provide the weekly digests as posts however this isn’t interactive and not as Twitter was designed, so to speak.

What do you think? If you are old fashioned you can use the comment system here or @MarkTheDaemon your thoughts on Twitter ;-) .

If any of you out there are running WordPress blogs I’d encourage you to do the same, if only for safety and security’s sake.
