For vari­ous reas­ons, I am on another sab­bat­ical from Twit­ter. This is not my first, and I dare say not my last. Dur­a­tion, unknown. Frankly, I am bor­ing myself and slowly stick­ing my foot in my own mouth. To fill the now empty space, I have spent more time think­ing and writ­ing. So, for instance these are some raw num­bers from the last few days. This is by no means scientific.

Twit­ter

Aver­age Tweets per day: 100
Aver­age size of each tweet: 100
Total Words: 10,000
Estim­ated Per­cent­age valu­able (ie: valu­able con­tent): 10%
Words of Value = 1,000

Blog­ging

Aver­age Tweets per day: 100
Aver­age size of each tweet: 100
Total Words: 2,765
Estim­ated Per­cent­age valu­able (ie: valu­able con­tent): 90%
Words of Value = 2,488

So, the ques­tion remains: are the con­ver­sa­tions on twit­ter worth 2.5 times the pub­lish­ing via blogs?
