Thanks for the shout-out. It has been interesting. Although I file posts 140 characters at a time, I file multiple posts throughout the day. I added up one day's worth of tweets and it was the equivalent of an 80-inch newspaper story. My stories for the print edition are limited to 25 inches. What I've learned is people won't read an 80-inch story on a trial in the paper but they will read it 140 characters at a time. So followers actually end up spending more time (and a greater attention span)and getting more detail. Plus, the people who follow indicate they are not ones to read the newspaper. BTW, love the cartoon.

The Way I Think vs The Way Everybody Else Thinks.
(with apologies to Ian Lee)
Should have tried to make an example by limiting news item of 600 charaters to 140.
Sorry, I had to post this, any mention of the Crips makes me think of South Park

Timmy!
Remember the good old days when people had a 30 second attention span. Now it's 140 characters. I wonder why they bother to get out of bed?
