Our Lives on Twitter: 140 Characters or Less

By Rhett Soveran • Feb 22nd, 2008 • Category: Blogging

Twittered - EpibloggerWhat the hell can you write in 140 characters or less? If you are a haiku artist, probably enough. If you are a blogger… not much. (134)

Twitter is a bizarre form of social networking because it gives access to the mundane parts of ours lives. (106)

What is the point of Twitter? Do you want to know that I am going to the bathroom in about 35 characters? (105)

Twitter is boring. No one is interested in my monotony. The good stuff is on the blog already. Twitter is the waste basket of blogging. (138)

Twitter, like regular blogs, is often accused as being one, giant display of ego and self-adornment. Is twitter so very limited? (129)

I would think that like blogging it’s all about your approach. (62)

I think we should be challenging all of our approaches to disclosure. Whether than be a regular blog, twitter or Facebook status. (130)

For instance, on Facebook, all of my status updates are metaphors. Currently it reads: Rhett is a well groomed eyebrow. A small challenge. (140)

How can we add a new approach to Twitter? Lee and I have decided to have a conversation. (89)

Twitter is now our device for full Epiblogger disclosure to the public. No more emails (or less). We are discussing all aspects openly. (137)

Twitter is a form, like haiku poetry, that should be challenging and not the all the white noise that surrounds us. (115)

How will Twitter challenge you to Tweet better? How will you challenge Twitter to build a better nest? (103)

I am going to clean the kitty litter and then vacuum. (53)

Twitter is great for asking questions; Get a response in a moment, connect with local people and you have an advisory board (123)

Kev not all of us have a Blogger Help Group to get drunk with during the middle of the week. (Good points.) (107)

This is true. Twitter can also be used a source of collecting news. Use it as a news aggregator (95)
