"Publish pretty much everything you write" is, I feel, good advice. https://www.facebook.com/notes/kent-beck/publish-everything-pretty-much/1839078656124990/ … I think the focus of that particular article on tweets structurally forces a writer into producing ephemera, and you should probably not have ephemera be your primary product.

I struggle with this. Twitter is a great forum for quickly broadcasting ideas, but tweets are *very* ephemeral. But I don't have time to turn good tweets into blog posts, and creating a blog post that's just a list of tweets feels like cheating. I feel stuck in a local maxima. =\

I hear you. (For what it's worth, I think that podcasts are a reasonably good form factor which produces non-ephemera without costing the prodigious activation energy of producing meaningful written artifacts. Also, unlike every form of writing ever, they're a bounded commitment)

I like podcasts a lot, but wish they were more searchable. From what I can tell, the title and maybe a short summary are indexed by search engines, but that's about it.

Do you do transcripts? Easiest way IMHO to increase the value of doing a podcast; I use CastingWords and then an editing pass every time I do one. The transcripts seem to be approximately as searchable as a blog post on same domain. (Approximately.)
