I’m not much of a “blogger”. When I want to write, nay, compose a new blog about something that went on in my life, or some great accomplishment, it takes a while to draft something out, find a picture to go with it, make sure it sounds right, etc. A long process that I just don’t have time to do. When I see blogs, I almost assume that they are well thought out articles, almost that of which you would see in a newspaper or magazine.
But, I want to be able to blog without having to worry about grammer, punctuation, a point. That’s where Twitter comes in. I never thought that going to a website and typing in what I am doing right now so that if my friends / co-workers happened to be on Twitter as well, they could say, “Oh! Mike is going to the bathroom!”. Why would they want to know that? Even thought I don’t see the point, I think it is still a great web service.
So, I combined the two to create the 3rd iteration of mikekruk.com. It uses the Twitter API to bring up my tweets that are hashed as “#blog”. This way, whenever I want to blog about anything, I can just make a quick tweet and call it a day. I think it’s something that I might actually use because I can talk about what happened when, and not have to worry about some big long article, and I sure as hell don’t have to type it while I’m doing it.
For now, I will see how Twitter works out. I may have to switch over to Tumblr at some point if I want to post pictures, or I could possibly just get away with using Twitpic or some other service. Ahh, bending the web has never felt so good.
