Twitter is all about wit, and if the character ceiling is raised, we're going to witness a slight dumbing down all over.Naweedhttp://technonstop.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139769202527811820.post-49234572319510120172011-07-24T09:01:38.841-07:002011-07-24T09:01:38.841-07:00I haven't taken up the all might Tweet as of y...I haven't taken up the all might Tweet as of yet, for no other reason than it's another diversion that I personally don't need. I know it has some value. But I am not here to lobby either case. I do think the point of it is to be brief. I could see using it to help me with my over caffeinated prose.

It's a way of getting information across both quickly and efficiently.theoncominghopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471519506797609837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139769202527811820.post-2596395399625082242011-07-24T05:57:12.062-07:002011-07-24T05:57:12.062-07:00@Shelley quick!

If I'm busy with something and need a quick hit of all the big news, it takes like a minute to scan my twitter feed to find out what's getting people excited/angry. I like that it satisfies my limits on time.theoncominghopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471519506797609837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139769202527811820.post-62756164266411472482011-07-24T05:54:32.853-07:002011-07-24T05:54:32.853-07:00@Kelley great to meet you as well!

A blogger wanted to talk about my book in conjunction with a post on genetics and I tried to get her to narrow down what she was looking for so that I could give her a few pertinent sentences. She wouldn't, so I sent her approx. 500 words of all my thoughts and said, "Which angle do you want to take?" She (crazily!) answered, "That's a great start; we'll build on every point." For ONE post. Seriously???<br />I almost feel like Twitter will be soon be outed by a newer, trendier site that gets you down to 100 words, if not 25! Heck, I should start it, because that's where society is headed - Talk Fast, I'm Busy (better yet, TFIB).Shelley Workingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12720790942978108809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139769202527811820.post-34573962137348030152011-07-22T07:36:47.474-07:002011-07-22T07:36:47.474-07:00I like the brevity of Twitter.

To read anything longer at the pace of tweeting wouldn't quite align with the my short attention span :-) Don't blogs, Facebook and emails accommodate people who have a lot to say? Who's trying to write an essay on Twitter anyway?Totsymaehttp://www.totsymae.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139769202527811820.post-78815915004392747232011-07-22T07:10:31.295-07:002011-07-22T07:10:31.295-07:00I actually really like the limitation, too.
