Twitter Being Down And Blogging Every Day

I’ve blogged here
(well, first on Road To Forbes)
every day for the past four years.
Some days, frankly,
I don’t feel like posting.
I’ll be knee deep in another project
and find it challenging
to focus on anything else
including a 100 word blog post.

But I do post.

Why?
Because I want to be your early morning habit.
Something you can count on.
Something that is a constant
in a changing world.

Which leads me to Twitter.
Twitter was down for a couple days
(I couldn’t post to Twitter
though some other people could).
Twitter, for me, was a habit.
I’d log onto it
when I needed to check the latest news
or send out a quick note to readers
or chat with a friend.

After only two days down,
it was no longer a habit.
I had other sources for news.
I emailed friends.
I asked a question on one of my blogs
to get reader feedback.

Think of that
the next time you…
…take your blog offline for maintenance
…renovate your restaurant
…go on vacation
