Blog or Tweet?

To Blog or to Tweet - That is the Question…

We’ve set up a number of clients with blogs and more recently have also been involved in creating and styling Twitter accounts as well. One question that this has automatically raised is which platform is best? Should I Twitter or should I blog?

Our view has always been that both systems offer different advantages and disadvatages but essentially, the blog post is where the juicy stuff is and more often than not, a Twitter update (or Tweet) is not much more than a signpost nudging the user toward the blog post.

This stance is supported well by Adam Singer at the Future Buzz who lists 19 reasons why you should Blog - as well as Twitter. Take a look at his post:
