I loved that you wrote this after our #SaturdayNightHaiku shenanigans. It took me 2x to spell out "shenanigans."<br /><br />3. I just invited a bunch of friends to like your FB page!Sarah (est. 1975)http://established1975.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2441873745400594431.post-20742446535023699102014-07-22T08:02:17.509-07:002014-07-22T08:02:17.509-07:00Agreed!

It also forces you to think of alternative, shorter words to convey the same information. Actually a valuable exercise in many ways. I do find the fact that some of the abbreviations ("u" and "ur") creeping into "unconstrained" writing (emails, etc) to be annoying. If you're not working with a word constraint, those shortcuts should not be used, IMO. (Yes, I used "IMO" intentionally there :) ).Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942223629303845455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2441873745400594431.post-17850711653574817122014-07-22T06:25:18.623-07:002014-07-22T06:25:18.623-07:00I love Twitter!

I love it so much more than FB and for all the reasons you stated. <br /><br />I was not enamored with the 140 character limit either, but what it has done is teach me to eliminate unneeded words..I believe it's actually helped me be a better writer.

I've never bothered--I just don't swear on FB.<br /><br />Twitter and FB have different uses in my mind. Both have their fun factors!<br /><br />If Oprah is a 45 year old white woman with a flat ass and a glass of wine perpetually clutched in her fist, then yes, I AM Oprah. But don't tell anyone, K?

I know the concept of twitter is weird & at 1st I was like why the hell would anyone join that but once I made the leap I found I love Twitter. I'm not big on FB. I'm on it, I recognize its power, but I really don't like it. Esp. b/c of what you said - you're connected to ppl who you should never be connected to on FB. My aunt befriended me & I'm like, "No, no befriending." Of course I had to accept, but I think there should be 2 separate FB's. 1 for family and 1 for friends. It's the only way.<br /><br />Twitter is just for fun & it's funnier & more cynical. It's basically perfect. <br /><br />As for the 40% being babble, 40% of life is babble so it's pretty representative. <br /><br />Are you really Oprah but you're trying to convince everyone you're not Oprah? I'm sure that's exactly what Oprah would do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09587376475449542545noreply@blogger.com
