A few months ago a friend turned me on to Twitter, a micro-blogging tool. Micro blogging is more of a “play by play” of your life as opposed to a full-blown blog. I have started using Twitter a lot, sometimes more than a dozen times a day. So, this begs the question: if you Twitter or update your Facebook profile all the time, do you still need a blog? The answer, for me at least, is yes. The two serve different functions. As I mentioned above, the micro-blogs are more of a play by play while the full length blog gives you the freedom to explore topics more in depth without the 140 character limitation of Twitter (each micro-blog has a different character limitation). That being said, I will try to use this blog for more in depth topics rather than the play by play. I have occasionally delved into conversations on music and practicing and I hope to do that on a more regular basis. I will not completely leave journal type topics out. I am sure the two or three readers of this blog would be utterly devastated if I did not upload mediocre quality photos from my phone and a description of said photo. /sarcasm.
