I used to write “Roundup” blog posts that were short items I’d accumulate that did not warrant a full blog post. I’ve found that Twitter now fulfills that function. I will periodically post in the Roundup category recent Tweets of interest.
For me, this reflects one reason I started blogging in 2003: personal knowledge management. Twitter and blogs are not just about sharing. I often use my own blog to find information I need. By copying a sub-set of my Tweets, I can both share highlights and locate them more readily along with my blog posts.
