Twitterizing my blog

I use Twitter a lot and appreciate the ease of posting there. For a start, the maximum length of a tweet is 140 characters, which means you don’t have to put much thought into writing something, compared to a blog post. For another thing, not much is required to tweet: I use Tweetdeck, where I can post from the same place I read other people’s messages. To post on my blog I have to log in and then click on a couple of links, which may not sound like much but it acts as a psychological barrier.

I recently downloaded the WordPress app for iPhone, and I think it comes close to making posting as easy as tweeting. It’s now easy enough to post that it seems worthwhile just to say a few words, while logging in through a browser is tedious enough that I only feel inspired to do it when I have something substantial to say.

So, to cut a long story short, you can expect to see more short “this is what I’m up to right now” posts on my blog. See, I could have just announced that in fewer than 140 characters!

Oh, and I can take pics on my iPhone and upload them to a blog post,which is pretty cool, although the interface is horribly clumsy when it comes to resizing photographs, unless there’s something I’ve missed.
