I am seeing more and more people creating long Twitter threads to disseminate useful information or blog about something. Obviously it’s a bit tedious to read than a well written long form article. Are all blogging platforms dead now?

    Blogging platforms evolved. Twitter is also a blogging platform in a way - a micro-blogging platform.

    Blog only platforms are dead. Nobody browses idk medium casually for example.

    It's write the blog on some website and *disseminate* via Twitter/other mediums.

    The dissemination has been divided from the hosting.

    Mostly, substack is a brilliant exception.

      Not quite. People write long twitter threads that would typically be written as long form content on traditional blogs.

      Twitter threads are a very interesting art form, but I don't think the writing style is that of the essay.

      A blog in essence is one continuous essay that you consume in an entire chunk.

      The tweet chain is a really distinct writing style of interlinked small bites. It's very interesting from a literary perspective.
