There's been discussion on here before about how the coaching community has by and large migrated from blogs and here to Twitter.
I was just on Blitzology's Twitter, and it's got tons of posts with coverages, pressures, playbook pages, etc, but it's next to impossible to post an in-depth article on Twitter explaining how different pieces fit together, the thinking/logic behind different stuff, and the philosophy behind it.
Why did people get away from blogs, as those are the primary method of doing the above?
I was fortunate enough to come along back in the day when blogs were "lit" everywhere, and learned a crap load from them, but any new developments/material that has emerged since the blogosphere died, it's a lot tougher to learn something as a unified idea when one has to do try to do so working with a bunch of cool, but disjointed pieces...
I get that it makes it a lot easier to communicate and get clarification on material than it is with blogs, but with that being the case, seems like the optimal model would be Twitter + blog, where the blog author could post a link in the article to a specific Twitter post on their account for discussion of material in that article.

Blogs don't get the likes/pluses/upticks/advances/loves/shares/comments/friends/impressions/links/replies/tags that feed needy brain.
Good blogs require a developed brain to consume and process that information as opposed to emotionally reacting to content.
Plus it is easier to produce. Supply/Demand.

Twitter fame and making a buck have taken over the information stream. I can’t say that I blame guys for it but it has changed how freely coaches will give out information. |

Why did people get away from blogs, as those are the primary method of doing the above? Hard to read a blog while stuck in traffic? Easier to thumb through Twitter? |

I don’t blog much, but utilize YouTube to share material almost as if it was a blog. youtube.com/@coachingfootballwithbriankleeDefinitely a bummer that blogs & activity on here ended up decreasing over time. Use to check in on CoachHuey daily. Now it is monthly. No way Twitter on its own can get as in depth as here on Huey. However, I’ve been able to network & schedule way more Zoom Meetings / Clinics via Twitter to get comparable depth on topics I wanted to learn more about. Best part is many of those Zooms have been impromptu on a random snow day or evening. |

Why not the best of both worlds? Coaches can link their blog to a Twitter account, then post a link to a new blog post, YouTube videos, etc. Twitter is the easiest way to connect to coaches of all levels through DM’s or weekly chats, like the Hog FB Chat on Monday nights.

Exactly coach! I mentioned that at the end there in the OP (was a bit lengthy so easy to miss 😄) |
