On the date we complete two months in existence, Jornal Android takes a drastic decision: we are no longer posting tweets in English.
The reason for this decision are many, but the main factor is that our readership consists of mostly Portuguese speakers, a strong indicator. This is especially because we have few Android news sources, unlike our English speaking counterparts, who have excellent sources, such as (my personal favorites ones) Androinica, AndroidGuys, Android Police, amongst others.
Additionally, there are other factors involved: the need to spend twice the amount of time to publish a story (after all, I'm not going to publish a rough translation from Google Translate, right?); besides that, many readers - both Portuguese and English speaking - don't like the "flood" of tweets when there is a nice amount of news, i.e. 3+; apart from that, JA's blog only has Portuguese posts.
I know this will impact JA’s number of followers – since we are reaching the 300-followers milestone – and bit.ly clicks, but my personal opinion is that we should always prioritize quality over quantity. This is a rule we should follow in any aspect of our lives, don’t you think? :)
Regards,
The Jornal Android Team
