Exactly Alicia. The more time spent on Facebook and Twitter, the less time people have for blogging.

Twitter and Facebook connects people, but they do siphon off traffic from other sites. I believe finding a right balance is important, but in no way do I want to “work” for social media at my expense.

To be honest I was thinking about that move few times. Twitter gives a lot of possibilities but then I wondered: but what about the very essence of blogging? What happened to that? Sometimes I think that such social networking services as Facebook or Twitter are killing real bloggers.

Matt – Great article. As I have not upped the ante by getting my own domain, I can’t imagine moving to FB or Twitter. There is a pride in having your piece of the web and watching it transform day by day.

I also agree with twistedsifter in that FB and Twitter offer different social interactions. Actually so does SU and others. I don’t think there is one social network that can meet all those needs in one space because that would be come too overwhelming and cumbersome.

I also agree with Larry. I use twitter to build my niche(s), interact, gets source material and tweet my articles not the other way around.

Hope all is well with you!

P.S.

I don’t know if you have seen this video but I just watched it after reading your post and I just shook my head.

I can not fathom the time when I would abandon Political Realities for Twitter. The only reason I use Twitter is to promote my blog articles, not the other way around. .-= LD Jackson´s last blog ..Hyatt Hotels’ Housekeepers Histrionics =-.

Totally concur Matt. I love Twitter and Facebook for different reasons but I’m on someone else’s property. My blog is all mine and it’s my little space on the net that I will always cherish and preserve
