Rant 186 4/7/12 Subject: Twitters character limit

Rant number 186


As you have probably noticed by now. I quite like to talk/type quite expansively (you could say waffling if you were unpleasant.)

Although, I try never to go overboard, I will rarely go for one short word when five or six long words will do. I like to make sure that my point is well articulated and understood: it's my thing.

This means that my sentences do tend to be quite expansive and floury - and generally quite long.

Twitter then, presents me a bit of a problem.

I've got used to Facebook now - although I was a reasonably late adopter. Someone says something, I say something sarcastic about it - it's another one of my things.

Twitter however, is more odd to me. I understand it, the hashtags, the trends etc etc. I'm just not sure why its so fantastic. Particularly because of the character limit.

I come up with something cool and articulate to say. Something really witty, and expansive...

And inevitably too long!

Surely people would like to hear my thoughts, even if they were a little longer?

Maybe I'm missing the point though.

Its most vexing

Rant over.

Twitter
