I don’t know what happened recently, but it seems that Twitter hit a resurgence. #suckitMySpace

New Twitter accounts are popping up everywhere, from celebrities to noncontributing, unfamous nothings like you and me. #worthless

The website that makes people describe what they’re doing in 140 characters or less is growing. #mundanehaikus

No matter how you use Twitter, you can’t deny its impact on pop culture. #hashtags

But why are so many people joining now, five years after the launch of the site? #unsolvedmysteries

I can only speculate, but I guess a contributing factor could be Facebook’s new timeline format. #smh

Many claim the timeline is ugly and inefficient. #likeyomomma

It also could be that TV programs, especially reality shows, utilize Twitter as a way to interact with fans and vice versa. #westillvote

But what does it mean to be brief, really? Can anyone really adequately say anything in 140 characters? #worldoffewwords

Twitter opens an interesting discussion of how we communicate. Is short better? Or speaking in length? #blabber

It’s a great exercise for me, a generally wordy person, to examine how to condense sentences, phrases, even ideas. #wrapitup

We tend to add words that don’t provide any substance to what we say. A tweet is the bare bones. #creepythought

I’m not suggesting we say less to each other, just more focused. #wordAdderall

Tweets can range from breakfast updates #Cheeriosagain to uplifting #keepcalm to humorous. #hashbrown

I recommend everyone get a Twitter. It may not be as versatile as Facebook, but it gets to the point. #possibleproductplacement

There’s a reason why we have the phrase “short and sweet,” and even though I don’t know why, we have it. #midgetcandy

So get off the Tumblrs and Pinterests and Instagrams for a second. See what you can say in 140 characters. #wowme
