    I think Twitter success depends to a large extent on the Twitterer's writing style. For a natural wisecrack artist like Jenkins, it's perfect. For my somewhat more discursive mode of thought, it'd be a tough fit.

    If nothing else, Twitter is good for teaching you how to write tighter. When you have only 140 characters to communicate a thought, you've got a great exercise in excising unneeded verbiage.

    That was 190 characters, Bob. Room for improvement. :D

    That's what I meant. We don't have any copy editors anymore. Good catch.
