The quicker, less-thought-out posts are much easier to accomplish in today's lightning-fast, post-it-now frame of mind. The added ability to post via SMS or email on mobile devices makes posting even more impulsive and spontaneous, and less reflective.

I am curious to see how far Twitter will go, and how blogs will be affected. I agree that blogs are taking a “back seat” to sites like Twitter and Tumblr.
