My blogging aim is not comments and visits. I write in english because it’s more convenient and feels more authentic to me, when writing about tech.

You seem to know quite a bit about my reader base though – care to share your heuristic data? Seriously, people would pay for this kind of analysis.

I’m sorry but you totally miss the point. You have every right to express your opinion – in fact, I’m the one that provided you with the chance to do so here anyway – but I have every right to totally disagree with it.

For example if i wanted to learn stuff about css i would first visit css-tricks.com which is very popular and written in english by a well respected designer.

On the other hand i would like to visit and read stuff from sites like css3.gr which are written in greek.

If css3.gr was written in english i don’t think it would reach more visitors since people would prefer to read stuff from well known sites first.

I believe if you wrote this post about twitter in greek you would get far more comments and visits.

Also the fact that i am typing in english to reply to a post where all comments are made by greek people is abit odd i think hehe

The only difference is i don’t have a real problem with persons tweeting only titles+links.

One another thing is i find extremely annoying people retweeting posts after they have changed some bits of the original information

I disagree. I do not target only greek people, I write first and foremost for myself and for every web lover out there that can grasp basic english.

That kind of mentality is quite dangerous. We (as Greeks) must stop the navel-gazing and look outside the borders of our web community.

Unless you mean that my content is not good enough for people outside Greece – that, I can accept.

Also – I write for CSS3.gr in greek and I was the leader of the translation team for the InterACT curriculum (http://interact.webstandards.org/). I think I learnt a thing or two about technical writing in greek – and I still think it’s really, really challenging.

I disagree though with the statement: “Because english is a simpler, more techno-friendly language that reaches to billions of people, and not just some thousands.”

Writing in greek is more challenging and you can easily fit in tech terms.

Also your audience is greek people, i don’t think people from other countries will bother reading blogs by greek people for tech related issues.

They will read stuff from tech gurus, experts, pros like techcrunch, mashable and other well known people or sites in general.

I especially agree with the fact that smart usage of twitter is better than google reader (or any other rss feed reader whatsoever). Twitter lists are especially made for this.

I barely have time to check my feed reader anymore – Twitter is always on and there’s always something interesting to see. No need to scour between posts to read something interesting – your friends & the people you are following already do that for you.

So sorry, I’ll stick to Twitter for now
