Starve a Blog, Feed a Twitter

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been majorly ignoring my blog of late. This is mainly due to the fact that I discovered twitter (go here to see my profile) over the holidays.
The result has been that the time in my schedule normally allotted to blogging has been eaten up with twittering. Which may seem strange if you’ve not yet succumbed to the crack-like addictive properties of twitter…
Because it’s not just twitter itself that’s addicting — it’s the ability to connect instantaneously with so many people, which then opens the door to a whole host of other resources, blogs, tech tools, etc. Which means you never have to stop twittering!
Plus I’ve been busy. In fact, today and tomorrow (weather permitting - please pray for non-ice) I’ll be at the Innovation3 conference, where I’ll get to meet up with other members of the Auxano team, see some old friends, and meet some new ones - many of whom I’ve met on twitter, by the way…
So there you have it. I haven’t given up on blogging, it’s just that I have yet to find a rhythm in 2009 that allows twittering and blogging to co-exist peacefully.
Does anyone else have this problem? What’s your experience with social media tools, like Facebook, MySpace, Linked-In, Plaxo, or twitter? If you use them, how do you incorporate them into your day? If you don’t use them, why not?
