Methinks one's audience for blogs might be different than one's audience for "tweets" - I think consumers in the blogosphere have a greater appetite for content, whereas Twitters and Twittees (did I just invent that?) are members of the Short Attention Span Theatre, and are only interested in 140 characters or less of what (anyone) has to say.
I'll do some research and return to this topic again soon.

Quantity vs Quality - Blogs vs Tweets. Magazines vs Books - USA Today vs Wall Street Journal. It seems human behaviors & preferences hold true no matter how the medium changes. Now I wonder if the advent of tweets, text messages and IM's are "dumbing down" our ability to communicate or actually sharpening it? Is it possible that a 140 character limit forces our kids to be better communicators; cutting out clutter and boiling things down to just the essence of their thoughts? Or...are they just more comfortable digesting complex communications in smaller doses?
