I think that blogging, especially when combined with Twitter, is doing the same thing. For me, there was a process, similar to what Lorna wrote about, of growing myself into the collaboration that goes on between the two. I started out lurking on Twitter, using it to simply find links to tools and interesting blogs; then I began to join the conversation on a regular basis. I only follow edtech or history people, and I learned and shared a lot. Then I started my blog. Without my PLN, I am not sure who would be reading it. As it is, it is still very new, but it is part of my maturing along with the ways that we use the internet and its tools. I agree with your idea that blogs are for Big Ideas and Twitter is for conversation. Thanks for the ideas!

I expect that there will be far fewer links' posts than there used to be. Those will be on Twitter. But blog posts offer depth as well as breadth and I don't think they are going to go away. Twitter is a far more social network (or so it appears to me) with people following people rather than the subject matter so much. Perhaps Twitter is where more people will become microcelebrities. Tweets are the narratives where the focus is on the character. But when the focus is on the topic, it seems to me that Twitter is not as useful. Of course, while I have been blogging for six years, I'm brand new at Twitter. I think that tweets and posts are very different.

Analyzing change is interesting, isn't it? In addition to sharing via Twitter, I recently realized that I’m also using Google Reader’s “Share with Note” feature as a quick way of reflecting/sharing.

Analyzing change is interesting, isn’t it?
