Linking or sharing info on Twitter: Which do you prefer?

by Josiah Mackenzie on July 03, 2009

I’m trying a little experiment on Twitter.

For the next week or so, I’ll be publishing excerpts from my blog posts as tweets using Tweetlater. The idea? To provide value and complement the myriad of links people (including myself) are dumping into Twitter.

What do you think: do you like this idea? Would you find it useful, or is it just duplicating the content here on the blog?

I find that really interesting, and totally useful. If Twitter really think RSS feeds are the enemy, my @foodbevfeed and @thehotelshotel are doomed. That being said, piping stuff into your account shouldn’t be that big a deal, as long as most of it is original, and meaningful content. Frankly, if twitter clamps down on RSS, you better believe people will adopt what you are doing…

I personally like it…. I think it at least creates (or recreates) relevant content on twitter that might be more useful than the noise we constantly see (like the trending topics… it’s a spammy joke at this point).

It is recreating the content of the blog, but perhaps with new relevance and meaning depending on the timing, and what precedes or follows it. Sort of like making yourself a hotel-mark twain-quote guy. =)

that is my tired ramble. I am off!
