Mr. Mellott’s Weblog

I still haven’t decided if I like twitter or not just yet. Perhaps I am simply not used to it. I feel like it is not much different from email except that you can read everyone’s short post very quickly. Maybe tools like this will become what email used to be and make email akin to formal letter writing. Who can say? I have found that, while somewhat annoying, the 140 character limit forces me to choose my words wisely. I have heard it said that a writer can say it in a novel, a good writer can say it in a short story, and a great writer can say it in a poem. Used correctly, Twitter could create a generation of “e-poets”.
