I’ve written a little about film blogging in some of my own research, and my impressions are similar to yours–Twitter is supplanting the link-and-comment post. If I want something more permanent, I’ll usually either bookmark it on delicious or will include it in a longer “links post.”

The other way that Twitter can supplement blogging, of course, is by facilitating connections between people with similar interests. By finding others who tweet about film, I can then fin blogs that better cater to my interests.

Even though I’ve been in the ‘web business’ in one form or another since 1995, I never had my own blog until I started one this past February. I’ve found Twitter to be an amazing way to connect with other like-minded bloggers (my blog is about usability and food/cooking) and as a way to promote my blog. I kind of wonder what people did to let others know about their blogs before Twitter…

I definitely agree with your points about the style and substance of blog writing. I often now think that some of the stuff I put on Twitter should be in my blog because it gets lost in the Twitter time line, never to be seen again (by me or anyone else, unless they do a search). I may start doing blog posts of past Tweets (Stuff I Put on Twitter).

I’m really looking forward to reading your book.

I like to ‘Twitter’ nonsense anonymously on twitter. I have my ‘nick’ username and only one follower that I know in the flesh. My family blog is different. It is there to update family and friends who know us, so I have a different, politer, personality there. I can’t decide which one is the best, but I have more fun on twitter. At a party the other evening the topic of Twitter was raised and I was asked my username, but I refused to give I,t as Tairmuir is a different person to that guy at the party.

I’ve certainly started moving a lot of my link blogging into Twitter, although I do still occasionally write the odd ‘link round up’ post.

Interestingly, I think I’ve got to the stage, (whether rightly or wrongly), where I rely on people pushing their blogs through Twitter. (That’s how I arrived at this post, for example). I still use Google reader, but have less time for it, and I rarely ever use a blog search engine.

Enjoying reading the book at the moment…I thought Dave Winer on software could be transferred as a concept to news – http://bit.ly/juczT
