What I really think about the writing space that twitter affords is...
Twitter is the world's next useless stalking website. It allows everyone the opportunity to inform the world of each and every twitch of the finger and flex of a muscle. It places its users in glass houses where each move made is on display for the world. I mean, honestly, who cares that Sally just had a sandwich or that Stanley is in dire need of a nap? I certainly do not. I just cannot grasp why certain people feel the need to publicize their lives.
If twitter was used in a different way though, the way that very few talented tweeters practice, it would be more interesting and effective. They share quotes and interesting bits of knowledge. The one-hundred forty character limit forces users to write concisely, cleverly, and in a catchy manner. Users that take advantage of this sort of tweeting, I applaud. But as for the rest of the world, stop making your private life a show for the world.
