Does this mean that 140 characters makes people get to the point and cut the BS ,like a good translator does?

John Althouse Cohen म्हणाले...

I just wish the limit were a little more generous, like 300, even 200. That would still force you to be super-concise. 140 seems sadistic.

Wince म्हणाले...

Still not sure what Twitter is or that it isn't one more giant time waster.

Is the idea to build a network/following of people who want to hear my pithy comments on a range of topics, either proposed by me and put to me by others?

Aside, a really good idea would be to limit Charlie Rose's questions to 140 characters, not specifically in response to this video clip but generally.

160 characters is the limit for texting on my Treo. Texting limits on wireless service probably got something to do with the 140 char. limit.

In the latest episode of Worlds Collide, my horrible typing and texting skills intersect with a medium that requires no skill.

But alas, I remain true to the idea that real men don't twitter.

Rather amusing that Rose's producers didn't offer a twitter link.

Said the blog commenter.

Greg म्हणाले...

Twitter will never catch on in Germany, heck some single words are more than 140 characters.

Ironically the valley is laughing it's ass off. I've been flooded with emails and tweets all day as the gossip mill turns.

However Amazon was written off in the early days too.

No, it's just smaller BS.

Do those overinflated chuckleheads from Silicon Valley understand that the messiah is measuring them for a super special tax bracket?

So,like, every statement is a question? If I were a VC, I wouldn't give Evan (sorry, Ev) any money? Until he stops talking like a valley girl? I've never seen Charlie Rose so quiet? I guess I like Evan because he left Rose speechless?
