You have a short line of text...much like you lay down and send off on a cell phone.
Say what you want in 
a short blurp of copy. Twitter...that's the concept but with you tinyurl's beckoning to come this way and I'll tell you or show you more. Less is more. Not writing novels, not going off on rabbit trails. Just nail it, boil it down to one thought...kinda like writing a greeting card..maybe that is what the originators of Twitter did before this innovation. It's like a bird that flitters. Ping pong serves of your thought, schedule, struggles, triumphs...your life at the moment. Do you twitter? When I worked in radio doing copy for ads or the news, concise sharp information had to be compressed, squeezed into small compartments of air time. Like dial up when you only get 26K for a hook up. Maybe limits are a good thing to cure oral diarrhea and cut thru the spin, the pork, the waste of political agendas and 
propanganda. It would save readers times albeit restrictive but gain a following that comes back with a catchy headline and knowing this will not take long. Like brunch...not a seven course banquet with seven forks. Communicating a snippet of knowlege or personal /business observation during the storm of life. Do you twitter?

alrighty then, I'm now following you.
I only sponsor 1 community and wonder if it's worth it. But anyway it's cheaper than an ad in the Maui News and maybe it will pay off one day.
Andrew, I'm on Twitter, but rarely have much to Tweet about. I don't want to be one of those that Tweets everyone to tell them I am brushing my teeth, now I am eating lunch, getting tired and going to bed. You get the point. Maybe I lead a boring life?
I know what you mean...Facebook the same way with some. "I went to the store. I am excited about going out to eat. Zippy and I had so much fun last night." I feel the same way about being at the grocery and someone is in front or behind on a cell phone talking up a storm. I don't want to listen to the call or be part of it kinda of thinking. Hunt down class mates, get other brokers to join and use ping.fm to update them all. The tiny url's with websites like you post entries here and videos can be included in that 140 characters!
I just started on twitter, my twett is @lisaborders38. I will follow you, look forward to some good tweets.
Thanks Lisa!
