Twitter aims to shorten messages even more
A spoof of course, but also a not too well hidden criticism of Twitter:
The Daily Week - New Twitter messages to be 1 character long
"After you've got used to communicating in one character or less, those old-school Twitter messages are so boring. I start reading one, get 30 characters in, and I'm already falling asleep. Who has time for that?"
Thoughts:
- Even though Twitter messages are brief, many are following so many threads that the information volume anyway becomes much bigger than before using Twitter. Maybe the future is in intelligent Twitter filters.
- Twitizer and similar services turn Twitter into a media for long and complex information exchange, “fixing” (for better or for worse) the inherent brevity of Twitter.
