1. Keeping a blog is like feeding a hungry beast. It’s insatiable. I twitter to escape the hungry beast. Revise that to mean, I’m looking for inspiration, for that elusive germ of an idea. Twitter can give you that, or sufficiently provoke you to have one.
2. Comment section of a blog can be likened to a living room where lively conversations take place. But even the nicest living room setup can sometimes go stale. In Twitter lies a market place where conversations take place at dizzying pace. Find something you can latch onto and participate.
3. Can’t quantify how much of my blog visitors is a result of my tweets. I still have a small number of followers. But I’m looking ahead when I hope they’d become significant enough to make a difference in projecting my blog in the “center” of things.
4. Coming up with 140-character tweets is a challenge. And I love challenges.
5. Twitter gives you instant access to people. It’s informal, it’s urgent, and anything you want it to be. It’s a bit hard to be informal in email; in blog, you have for your readers to come to you, losing your sense of urgency to immediately connect.
