I confess, I also have a Twitter account. Honestly I think tweeting is boring, pointless, and just another way that everyone doesn't check up on me, so I don't use it much. I couldn't care less about what my friends, let alone celebrities, are doing every second of the day. "Gracie is hungry and wants a pizza." That's cool, but I don't really care. :P
My writing is the same everywhere, pretty much. My vocabulary, punctuation and capitalization are the same whether I'm typing a ten page essay or a fifty word blog. It's the same even when I'm writing my World Geography notes with a pencil and paper. The only difference I find is that my writing is a whole lot neater on the computer than it is on paper, of course. When I write on paper my thoughts are a print/cursive mess, and when I'm typing they, well, they look like this.
Being that my writing is the same no matter what medium I am using, I think that it shows that I write how I would talk and I talk how I write. This is obviously not the case of other people, but it's how I do things.
Language is too important to butcher, so I try my best to keep it consistent.
Interesting post, Pearl - you really seem to strive for consistency across different media.

As someone with atrocious handwriting, this is one of the primary appeals of electronic writing for me : )
