The More We Twitter…

… the less we, probably, blog — and comment directly on others’ blogs, and, generally, muse in the blogosphere about blog content —observes Brian Solis at TechCrunch, which throws into question “the future of blog authority in the era of micromedia.” And if some portion of the conversation (about blog content and not) is happening on Twitter and other micromedia, then don’t we need, as Solis asks, “a separate Technorati-type index for measuring the authority of content publishers on Twitter and other micro-media in their own right?”
