We see pre-digital twitter on grave-stones such as: "I Told You I Was Sick", "Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake, Stepped on the gas instead of the brake.", "Here lies my wife: here let her lie! Now she's at rest, and so am I." (John Dryden on his wife!) I love these. See some more i.e. on (http://www.squidoo.com/funnyfamoustombstoneepitaphs; http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/epitfs.htm) SMS was also a revolution for communication. Yesterday, Deutsche Telekom in Germany apologised for an embarassing server break-down last week by offering clients free sms. A record number of 85000000 sms were sent - more than at Christmas and New Year! People just love sms and, especially if it's free, only having 160 characters at our disposal will continue to allow us to communicate without clutter.

Cheers Viv I love this idea – two things I love about it: getting in there and just giving it a go (how can we know if a new idea will work unless we try it out?) and the way 140 characters encourages brevity, clarity and touching on the essence.

One of my questions was - could tweets be written as unique full thoughts and at the same time be incorporated into a more comprehensive structure like the section you wrote? Reading your tweets the answer is "yes."
