Twitter is an awful blogging format when your message takes more than one tweet. It makes you blend in as well, making it easier for fake news to spread - you aren’t that different from a billion other accounts all saying striking things. At least with a blog, you have a more recognizable identity and the ability to write more than a few words at a time


"Please don't complain about website formatting, back-button breakage, and similar annoyances. They're too common to be interesting. Exception: when the author is present. Then friendly feedback might be helpful."
