Econoblogging in its heyday was also an effective system for disseminating ideas; it has been largely crowded out by Twitter, which is unfortunate, but many have found workarounds 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

Even pre-internet communication mainly took place via working papers, which had completely taken over all the fields I worked in by the 1980s. No peer review, and obvious privileging of people with known names and connections, but still an effective dissemination system 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

In particular, a lot of econ Twitter is summaries of and links to working papers. So it isn't actually casual and sloppy; more like abstracts for serious work. And the work is indeed serious, with tough questions and debate, informed by data, taking place in real time 6/ — PolitiTweet.org
