Finding time to listen to yourself

More and more I am finding myself twittering rather than jotting down a long blog post.

The more I think about it the more I realize why this happens. I don’t have time. I don’t have time to get all my thoughts out of my head, get them together and stick them onto a piece of html. Twitter works for a number of reasons of which I’ll indicate two:

(1) people need to visualize their thoughts

(2) they need to share them

This brings the concept of *instant web* to life – as a means of immediate (and perhaps more spontanous) communication.
