Tweets rather than posts

I'm posting more to twitter these days than here, and it makes sense for me. Twitter is better for short thoughts and updates vs. longer, thought-out ramblings.

Overheard on Facebook the other day:

"I was asked to join twitter, but am not sure I understand what it is for. It just looks like a lesser version of Facebook to me.

Sigh.

I explained that it was really just a social cognitive surplus heat sink like Gilligan's Island used to be, better explained by Mr. Shirky here
