I don't believe the SEO blame. I think in reality microblogging won. People get the same engagement with 2% of the effort.

I recently added microblogging to my blogging routine. I just added it to my own page. I use an alias of “status [message]” and it throws it on the top of my status page (an md file) and replaces my previous status on my home page. It’s so simple it’s stupid. I don’t get bells and whistles but it frees me from the platform wars.
um microblogging still looks pretty terrible for long form, not to mention hostile. If you have a story to tell it might be youtube now.
