[lbo-talk] Tweeters, Twitterers and Twats

[Wojtek S]

[WS:] I understand the virtue of brevity, but what on earth can you
say in 144 characters of less that has any gravity at all - unless of
course your persona already has gravity i.e. power so every word you
say also has gravity.

If I say "Down with capitalism" who gives a flying fuck? However, if I
write a 300-600 word essay that explains particularly well why we
should get rid of the pesky thing, some people may pay attention.  If,
otoh, the POTUS or a US senator says "Down with capitalism" - that
already has gravitas and he/she needs to say nothing more.
