This is not just applicable to twitter it works with all forms of social media including blogs. Thanks for a great post. Cheers Adam Bean “What can you share that might interest others?”

On a slight sidenote, in a bookstore a yesterday I discovered a pile of recently released "Twitterature" in glorious display on the counter. Flipping through I was horrified to discover once beautiful prose now dismembered into stodgy chunks of 140 character info-packets. There is apparently humour & cleverness in it all... I promise I will read it with an open mind (once my stomach stops churning in response to what I took to be massacre). Call me old-school, passe and slow to get with the times... I just can't decide if it's oh-so-wonderful that the 'classics' (well, what's left of it!) can now be brought to a greater mass of people... or bawl that such measures are what it takes to attract and encourage reading. What happened to pure enjoyment of a good story, beautifully written and told?! I'm still wondering if this will have any bearing on the course of language (and thinking) and quality of written word over the longer term... More on Twitterature here: http://janeausteninvermont.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/tweeting-the-classics-austen-in-20-tweets/ Follow the aftermath here: http://twitter.com/AcimanandRensin Apparently twitter can also be used quite creatively for things like notifying plant owners that their plants need water etc. No doubt as we progress there will be other such useful (or less useful) apps being developed. So, to come back to the point, how's this for another addition to the manifesto... - I will consider responsibly and ethically how my twitter ventures affect, contribute to and shape the lives of others, both immediately and in generations to come. I love it ;-) Glad to have sparked the inspiration!
