Editorial: Is Twitter end all to all of Anime Blogging?

May 23, 2009 by Chikorita157 2 Comments

twitter
Sorry for the bad editing… but it serves the point.

Twitter is a popular microblogging website that people write 140 characters on what they are doing or share something on the internet… Recently, more people in the anime blogopshere are getting Twitter accounts and we also created one too… (just click the Twitter icon on the top right hand corner to view our timeline) and it’s popular in Japan. Recently, something is bothering me because I saw a headline that blogging is dead because of the popularity of Twitter and social networks… but does that apply in the Animeblogosphere… the answer is not really… for several reasons:

Posting reaction posts and news takes too many characters

Blogging about anime requires alot of characters, and simply summing it up with 140 characters won’t cut it… Also, Twitter doesn’t allow you to post any pictures of any kind, although you can share a link to it… but what if you want to post something interesting about it… You can’t do that with Twitter!

Twitter is too limiting

Yes, Twitter have it’s limitations, but it’s more limiting that you cannot categorize your updates by anime series or tag them… nor you can format your posts or have people comment on them. You cannot even embed a MAD or someone playing anime music on the piano due to the lack of HTML input.

Although Twitter won’t replace Anime Blogging by a longshot, there are advantages:

  • Updates are instant: You can instantly share your blog posts to everyone and people might catch attention to it and read it.
  • Share interesting infomation: If you find interesting blog posts, you can share it to others by posting the link in your update.
  • Can potentially replace RSS and Anime Blog aggregators: Since updates on Twitter is instant, there is less of a need to use RSS and Anime Blog aggregators since you can follow the author of the anime blog and receive instant updates. There will be less of a need to use AnimeBlogger Antenna (which won’t index my blog posts) and AnimeNano to receive updates for blogs you subscribe to.

What is your take about anime blogging and Twitter? Do you think that Twitter will make anime blogging obsolete or help promote anime blog posts through Twitter?

    There were always those times where I felt lazy to post and wanted to twitterfy my posts, but I felt that it was too short to summarize in around 120 characters. Maybe one day it’ll integrate with blogging somehow…that’ll be great.

    @Seinime: I usually use Twitterfeed to posts all my updates onto twitter without needing to do anything. All you need is a RSS feed to have this program to post all your updates: http://twitterfeed.com/

    I have to agree… 140 characters is too little to blog anime with… but the Japanese have an advantage since their characters take less room than ours.

    The drawback is that you need a OpenID to use it.
