I think this line of thinking is really just silly for several reasons. 1 - Twitter will not get you found via search engines, which is one of the top arguments for blogging in the first place. 2 - Twitter has abstract and unsubstantial conversion points. If we're talking marketing this is a huge issue. On my site I've got multiple places where visitors can take the next step towards connecting with me. 3 - Most people are using Twitter as an amplification device for URL's. Sure, there will be occasional 140 character blurbs that are funny or thought provoking, as well as the occasional back and forth conversation, but very often people use Twitter to raise more awareness and get more traffic for their blog posts. I'm frankly a little tired of hearing that blogging will be supplanted by Twitter.
