Is 140 characters enough?
The simple answer is, “yes.”
Ever talk to that guy or girl that just goes on and on and on? And worse yet, they’re not really saying anything? The great thing about 140 characters is that you have to get to the point. You can say a lot in 140 characters. More than I expected when I first started tweeting.
I certainly have those moments where I’m squeezing words, using funky abbreviations, and chopping sentences to make things fit, but that’s when it gets really fun. It becomes a challenge.
The real challenge is when you want to @reply to a bunch of people at once and have a lot to say. Then things get really interesting.
When you have unlimited space like a blog, you too easily get wordy, say more than you have to, and repeat yourself. You can also get wordy, say more than you have to, and repeat yourself.
If you think 140 characters isn’t enough, you’re not challenging yourself.
