Getting writing ideas from microblogging

Over the last few weeks, I’ve chatted about this with a few writers whom I know and a couple of them have done just that. Mainly, they’ve glean inspiration for a blog post. One even got the basis for an article from an exchange on Twitter.

That hasn’t happened to me. At least, not yet. And I don’t know if it ever will. At least, as far as a full-blown article goes. I might pick up the seed of a blog post in something I read or write on a microblogging site. Then again, maybe I’m not using these sites as effectively as I should be …

So, my question for the fives of people who read this blog: if you post to a site like Twitter or identi.ca, have you gotten writing ideas either from your own posts or the posts of others? Feel free to leave a comment.
