I was just on the phone with Chris Brogan, who was checking to make sure that my silence here the past several days didn’t mean that I had abandoned the Bryper.com blogging ship.
Rest assured: I haven’t.
I’ve just been 1) swamped in the day job at MONSTER, to the point that I haven’t had the mental energy to craft a thoughtful post 2) Twittering way, way too much.
Twitter, in case you’ve somehow missed it, is the micro-blogging/IM/SMS platform that has simply gone bananas in popularity in the last week to 10 days. (You can also see my previous post and podcast about Twitter). The number of Twitter blog posts last weekend was absolutely staggering — nearly to the point of being nauseating, in fact.
I’m certainly not alone in saying that my excessive Twitter postings — some of them witty, I hope; others pointing to interesting links I’ve found; and still others obviously nonsensical — have corresponded with a drop in my more formal blogging.
I’ll be working harder (smarter?) at finding the right balance — keeping up with the fast-paced world of Twitter postings, but still bringing you plenty of good material here.
But … should I quiet on you again for a while, you can always take a peek at Twitter posts. I’ve also added a direct link there from the top navigation bar on the blog.

15|Mar|2007 1Twitter is a fun way to see what your friends are doing, but I find it to be way too interruptive. The constant ping of the IM can be rather annoying. Yes, I can just go to the website, but I think that defeats the purpose.
I have yet to figure out where this twitter thing is going so as far as I’m concerned the jury is still out on it’s usefulness. My opinion, it has no legs. It will be quickly replace with the next cool, new toy. Of course, that’s just my opinion.

I think it about sums up the twitter phenomenon.

17|Mar|2007 3I usually only login to Twitter every couple days — I’m just too busy! I DO like seeing what you’re and other friends are doing though

18|Mar|2007 4Hi Bryan - I honestly don’t know where you find the time to Twitter, but I love the fact that you’re posting useful links — very smart. I’ll have to keep up with your Twitter posts if I need a new media fix. Best wishes, Kim
