Has Twitter killed long form blog writing?

Is ‘traditional’ blogging already redundant in this micro-blog world?

Is it convenience that makes us tweet rather than blog or is it lack of something to say?

Has today’s bite sized dumbed down media reduced our attention span to the point we can’t focus beyond 140 characters anymore?

Do you spend more time skim reading tweets of those you’re following but less time reading the article they link to?

Is it better to write blogs in snippets of thoughts no longer than 140 characters at a time?

Is Twitter a reflection of how we think, in scattered, abbreviated sentences?

Has Twitter trained our minds to filter information in headlines, sifting the wheat from the chaff?

I’m efficient with words. I get to the point. Halve your words and halve again – isn’t that what @nickusborne taught us?

Isn’t it gr8 that we can shrtn wrds w/o u losin plot? Or is it just me that thinks that takes longer to read?

If @mashable @Techcrunch @econsultancy @mattcutts hang up their keyboards & newspapers really do die who will we RT?

What’s better a blog post of 204 words or 12 tweets of 140 characters? Thoughts?
