I figured I wasn't alone in this experience. I think you're a great example of how to use Twitter and a blog to complement each other. You keep a consistent brand across the two platforms by sharing content with a similar theme on both, but Twitter's focused more on links and other short content. Including Twitter updates on your sidebar is a great touch, because, like Emily mentioned, not everyone wants or needs to get addicted to another service. Finding the balance--that's the trick. Exactly. I figured I wasn’t alone in this experience.

You get into twitter and you start neglecting your blog. There's probably a trick to finding a balance, but I haven't found it. One of the things that I used to blog about was upcoming sales and deals in some of my favorite stores. I found that these notifications were well suited to twitter, where I could just add a link and be done. I let my readers know that I wasn't forgetting about giving them sale updates, but that they could now be found on my twitter page. Like David, I also have my twitter updates on my sidebar, so my blog visitors can also see my tweets! <abbr><em>sarah’s last blog post..<a href="http://simplyremembermyfavoritethings.blogspot.com/2009/06/more-for-money-claire-danes.html" rel="nofollow">More for the Money: Claire Danes</a></abbr></em> So, I think a lot of people have been through the same thing.

I am a blog slacker as well right now. I am glad you are getting back into the world of blogging and I never really knew what twittering was and so I thank you for filling me in!
