I agree. Microblogging helps encourage me to read more blogs. Miniblogging tools like Posterous seems to encourage a balance between full blogs and microblogs -- these being in the form of comments. In all, I agree, they don't compete. I've always explained to people that microblogging is like using a post-it (tm) note and blogging is like using a sheet of paper. The visible difference is the size, but the more important difference is the use. Post-its are for tags and alerts, not stories. And many people attach post-its to full sheets of paper. Full size paper did not go away due to post-its. Brilliant. I agree. Microblogging helps encourage me to read more blogs.
