If can't beat 'em, join 'em

Just as Twitter was effectively killing my (and others) blogging fecundity, I saw that they posted a handy-dandy little link on the dash for inserting Tweets into your blog. Sweet. Now I can have the best of both worlds.

The Twitter giveth and taketh away.

Twitter is killing my blog

Twitter is killing my blog initiative. In fact this post can just be a straight copy-paste from some recent tweets (reverse chronological order):

	delagoya Ah, just saw that on XP you can't see my character cleverness. Sux4U dude about 23 hours ago from Snitter
	delagoya suppose a hash assignment {:foo ➠ :bar } about 23 hours ago from Snitter
	delagoya and also wondering if I can use ruby's syntatic suger with random windings about 23 hours ago from Snitter
	delagoya It's like the evolution of large emails ☞ short emails ☞ IM about 23 hours ago from Snitter
	delagoya notice that twitter is killing my blog initiative. Why blog when a short tweet will do? about 23 hours ago from Snitter

Really? It's that easy? Can you beat that ease-of-brain-dump blogger.com? I think not. Some picasa functions came close for posting quick notes on photos, but there isn't really a native blogger equivalent (that I know of). The whole create post -> edit post -> post post life cycle is too long for a quick set of thoughts you want to jot down.

I could probably research this more, but really why would I when twitter is always there, and I actually have an audience that comments back to my posts. And so back to my original point: Twitter is killing my blog.
