I want your opinions and advice

Back in April, when I moved to WordPress from my old Blogger home, I also started up a new blog, 140Char, to focus on microblogging, and Twitter in particular.

When I started it, it was partly due to the fact I seemed to be writing more about microblogging than marketing, and I hoped to enlist a few contributors to focus on the topic in one place.

Now nine months later it’s grown to a reasonable size, and is about equalling this blog in terms of traffic, but it’s essentially an additional solo project – and running two blogs in addition to my day job and my family has made me start to wonder whether it’s the most efficient way to work.

So I’d like to know whether as a reader here, you also visit/subscribe to 140Char, and whether you’d rather see microblogging covered here, rather than in a seperate location?

Or do you, in fact, prefer what I’m doing over there? If given the choice, which would you rather see me concentrate on?

(I’m not suggesting I’m about to drop either blog – I really enjoy doing both, but I really want to get an idea of what you think. Incidentally, if you’d be interested in guest posting, or collaborating on either blog, let me know!)

    If it was my time, I’d merge them.

    Or, try and get someone else involved to write for 140char.

    I’d say merge them: this is a personal thing, but I’m more likely to return regularly to more posts on one blog – perhaps just how I use iGoogle though

    I agree. Tough call but if I was looking to win back some time I’d merge them.

    i always read this blog, but only get over to 140Char every now and again. i’d def build 140Char by allowing a couple of extra writers to post there regularly. its a tough commitment to carry both yourself.

    whatever happens – do keep writing :)

    I only read this blog (i love it!). Haven’t really looked at 140char.

    Cheers for the comments everyone, and it’s definitely helping me to come up with a plan for this year – even if it takes me a while to get things sorted!
