I just realized that my last blog post was September 22 and today is October 4! This was not the plan I'd had after speaking with David Warlick this summer when he talked about how important and vital blogging was to him - and after speaking with Will Richardson recently when he said his blog posts come out of reading or thinking about something and are intentionally "thin" because there's always more to add and that's how blogging should be.
But I haven't blogged since September 22. Why? I feel like I've been blogging and keeping up with things and thinking about issues and participating and writing and ruminating.
It's the little Twitter that's making me think that.
Because now Twitter is becoming how I keep up and converse and it's more of a conversation, albeit it a disjointed cocktail party conversation, than my blog has been and more than posting on other blogs has been. More than an RSS feed. More than a PageFlakes page.
I've got Twitterific always in my back pocket - or in the lower right hand corner of my screen.
And I follow some people and a few people follow me.
And I find out about things like the live Weblogg ED-TV sessions Will Richardson, Steve Dembo and David Jakes conducted last night from a bar in Chicago before the Cubs game.
Or that Andy Carvin is on NPR in San Francisco - right about now.
And the latest news from the K12-Online Conference fed right to my screen. Realtime. Short, sweet, to the point, tweets from the twitterati world.
So I'm really enjoying this crazy little thing called Twitter.

Actually, I was on air in DC, but hopefully the good folks of San Francisco got to hear it as well. :-)
Ha! Different coast! Well, I am going to check out the transcript from NPR soon.
