Twitter has changed the blogosphere by fundamentally shifting the appeal of casual sharing from blogs to Twitter itself. Where as once upon a time everyone wanted or eventually had a blog to share their thoughts, today much of that has shifted to Twitter.

I think this is quite true. I actually struggle now with blogging, where before it came so easy to me. Now, when I write a blog - I think of it as a permanent, SEO-driven, and lengthy post. I used to not mind just sharing a link on my blog, but now I feel that Twitter and Facebook are the place for that.

A blog post is noteworthy when I have something longer and meaningful to say. When I want to pose questions in which I can refer to the answers. When I feel the need to educate others in a searchable and more permanent way. Although, this Posterous is a hybrid of Twitter and a Blog, on my other sites like Cuppycake.org I feel the need to be more long-winded and less casual due to Twitter.
