A little piece of personal internet history. I found an old blog post from a friend in Dec 2009 about how bloggers are moving to Twitter.

> It seems that change is in the air at the moment, as a huge number of people are reassessing their relationships with their blogs this winter. [...] In some respects, a lively blog might be [...] a five year mission, at most. However, I also suspect that it is Twitter which is causing a lot of the reconsideration right now"
