Using Microblogging as Zettelkasten

I was reading Sohnke Ahrens book on Zettelkasten yesterday. I stumbled upon the concept before and tried but I think I was overthinking and complicating the whole thing. Basically it asks you to jot down notes on everything sonewhere. These are called fleeting notes, basically you write and collect everything. At the same time, if you are reading something worthwhile from a literature, say a book as I am reading this notetaking book, create a reference for that book in a reference manager. Athens of course talks about carrying notebooks and pencils with you all the time. Which is good, because David Allen also writes the same in his Getting things done and I think Drafts on iPhone is an excellent example for instant thought capture unless you want to capture using camera which is a good option as well. Anyway. But the real deal with Zettelkasten that I did not understand then, was about permanent Zettels or permanent notes, as it were. You can do zettels in micro.blog.
