למידה, אינטרנט ... ומה שביניהם

My question, therefore, is for a blog which has an important dissemination role, can the blog survive without Twitter? Or if the word ’survive’ is felt to be too strong, perhaps I should ask ‘Can your blog thrive without considering how Twitter can help to enhance the traffic to your content?’

Because, for me, it's not about amassing an audience but rather forming connections. ... People who focus on size of audience … are working with an old-media paradigm, which is about broadcast rather that network. They see their influence as measured by echo or repetition - things like retweets, for example - rather than through participation in things that are genuinely larger (and more important) than themselves.

Interesting observation. It now puts to test my longstanding claim that I blog for my own purposes, and not to create and drive an audience.
