Twitter doesn’t do that. It doesn’t give a writer the space to really flesh out an idea. It doesn’t force you to think too much. You don’t have to be clear. It doesn’t give a reader anything for them to grasp onto beyond a single thought that likely requires more explanation. Twitter wasn’t meant to do that. On Twitter you’re a faint voice among thousands when you try to use it as a user-generated content platform. Twitter is excellent at conversation, personal engagement, and cultural trends, but it stinks at well-developed ideas. Unfortunately some good bloggers are choosing to allow Twitter to replace their blogging.  Please don’t do this if you’re a blogger. You’ll regret it.
