.Net Jonesie - I’ve given in and started to tweet
A simple programmers blog
 
# Wednesday, July 08, 2009

Having a blog is like having a nagging wife – not blogging makes me feel guilty.  The thing is, I just don’t have the time to to write the type of blog posts I like to write – long and accurate.  Not that I’m ever very accurate, but well …

Anyways, I’ve been ranting about how stupid twitter is and what a complete time waster it is without actually trying it.  Then it occurred to me that twitter might actually be a useful alternative to long exhaustive blog posts.

So, I’ve signed up again and am tweeting a little about very development focused things.  You wont catch me tweeting about the weather or Michael Jackson etc.  Currently I’m into Azure dev so I’m finding lots of little things to chirp about.  I haven’t found a lot of tweets to follow yet apart from the obvious candidates – scottgu etc – but I did get my first reply today when I sent a message to a Microsoft tweet.  Very sweet!

Follow me if you love me :)  jonesienz

Thing is though, blogs are concrete and long lasting, tweets are ephemeral and no-one is gonna remember what you said three weeks from now.
