Twitter makes a very good way to add asides to your blog. You might consider it. Semantically--for my use, they are the same. I have it working on a personal website. I doubt that I will be adding it to my professional websites anytime soon due to the "off-topic-ness." Make sure though if you bring them into your blog and subsequent RSS feed that your entire homepage isn't full of tweets/asides!
