I tweet a lot. I've been active on the social networking website since around 5 months, I guess? The main reason I logged in to 'tweet' was because I wanted some space on the internet, which my Facebook life has almost not allowed me to have. I believe in the internet being a space where you interact with people you don't know. What's the use of talking to people you talk to regularly in your life? Rather, create an account and speak to people with different opinions and similar thoughts/interests. Much more informational, if not productive. Twitter has been quite essential, for weird reasons to be explained here, to me. I use Twitter on my Blackberry more than BBM, but I luckily don't tweet about my bathroom time, like a lot of people.
However, 4000+ tweets later, I realize how I don't want to be stuck in '140 characters' forever. How I don't want to be precise. How I never want to digress grammar/spellings to make a point in 140 characters. With a little contradiction, I'm humanly glad to have not endless writing space on Twitter because we have blogs for that.
Finally, the point of this post: I want to blog more than I tweet. I want to write more than a sentence. I want to express, in this way, and not just in the moment to tweet about it. I don't write here much anyway, and if I keep tweeting every thought that lingers around my brain, I wouldn't feel like writing about it here. I don't like saving something on my phone, something I want to write about. Cliché, but I believe in staring at a blank document than saving a 'thought' on my phone. I'm weird, so weird.

I totally understand the predicament. Back then, I too lost the sense in tweeting. But you can try various long tweet services such as LongTwit.
