I'm going to launch a new service, allowing people to express themselves in one word or less. Take that, twitter.

The problem with Twitter is that you cannot really express a complex argument in 140 characters. You start in on it, and then you run out o

That was spot on, submitter. That's quite a feat, creating a headline and stopping at just the right moment. Sort of like the finale of "The

I made it to Facebook, but I'm just not going any farther. Twitter is too much. And of course my company is encouraging us to use it. So far I've held out.

My new microblogging service will be even more micro-y than Twitter. It will stop at 139 characters.

I'm going to launch a site with the biggest collection of emoticons ever in one place, where people don't even have to type--everything will be expressed in emoticons. It will evolve into a language of its own, as people try to express more and more complex ideas with a variety of emoticons.

Hand writing is passe, now actual words will become outdated, as everyone lives only through a profile photo and thousands of little pictures.

Excelent job subby.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's been done, sad as it may seem. It's been ages, but I remember there being a site where you could select a one-word mood and an emoticon. There was a fixed URL that you (or friends) could use to keep track of each other's moods.

Pictographs is the early evolution of language... If we do what you suggest, it is de-evolution of communication.

Huge fan of Twitter after months and months of resisting. All it took was to find a practical purpose for it.

Microblogging annoys me. I put mad random quotations on facebook and hope to god the people I know aren't stupid enough to think it's me talking.

Paractical purpose? Do enlighten us.

Twitter is so old school. Tribes in the amazon bounce drum signals up and down the river system. For $4.99 a month.....

This is an interesting development. When everybody's comments are limited to one hundred forty characters it will necesarily limit the kin

Brevity is the soul of wit

Wit's soul's brevity.

as someone recently suckered into twittering, Im getting a kick out of these replies.

that being said, Im still not sure what the big deal is. Does anyone really want to know what I am doing right now? procrastinating, thats what. Im supposed to be writing a goddamned paper, but instead Im posting on fark, tweeting my snacks/coffee status and generally not writing my paper.

there...are you happy?

/anyone want to follow me? I feel like I tweet to myself.

Ermungslos: Paractical purpose? Do enlighten us.

I'm a sports blogger, and I found it tough to keep up with sharing thoughts and links with other sports bloggers. In turn, it was a good way of tracking their thoughts and links. A couple of other writers I admire were using it, so that sweetened the deal.

I don't read anybody's tweets that are menial, unimportant and interesting only to themselves and their cats. Or of SEO marketers. The majority of tweets are unimportant, yes, but the majority of e-mail is spam.

I also suggest that, like the Internet, it's all about finding your niche and your purpose in it. If it's not there, then good luck to you.

people at my company follow our customers on it, and if they ever see a complaint about our support, etc, they act on it. Customers are pretty surprised and happy when the learn about that.

But I'm still refusing to join for now.

Twitzer is a Firefox extension which lets you post text longer than 140 characters on Twitter.com.

Further proving 7 out of 10.

God is not important enough to warrant a Twitter feed.

Honestly if people used it to announce what they are doing every 30 seconds, I wouldn't have lasted a day.

So it gets better? Are you interesting to follow? (gee, there is no good way to ask that without sounding all stalker-y)

As recent convert to the world of Twitter, I gotta give subby his +1.
