But, interestingly, the more time I spend on Twitter, the more I follow links to places such as this – and the more I comment on other blogs. So Twitter is making me comment more, not less

Good point Henny – I’m always worried about missing things on Twitter which, on a blog or forum, would be nicely archived and referenced. Also, although it seems like most of the world is Twittering nowadays, the truth is that most people aren’t on there, which means they’re missing out on the debates.

Great idea to get people to repeat comments on blogs etc. I’ll start doing the same!

You mention Twitter and I don’t know if it’s me or the people that I follow but it seems to have exploded with accessibility talk recently. I used to post news on there all the time but don’t so much now as so many people are doing a good job.

It does make me wonder though, I tend to do most of my “debating” over Twitter and have become a little perturbed that while this is a great thing for on the spot discussion with lots of people that it does get lost in a way that commenting on blogs doesn’t.

I actually blogged about how Twitter seemed to be killing commenting and have even cheekily asked people who have responded to posts from my blog on Twitter to comment on my blog. And I’m making a rule to do that myself.

I’m just not sure how we can aggregate all the great comments and Tweets otherwise…unless someone far cleverer than I wants to build an app that grabs blog related Tweets and streams them into your blog. Mmmm, that could be tricky.

Nice blog! It’s given me a few things to thing about, and a few links to investigate.

Cheers!
