Twitter allows users, called Twitterers, to stay constantly connected with friends and family by sending and receiving messages short messages called Tweets. […] Write a short story in the maximum length of a Tweet.
2008 May 31, Jessica Guynn, “Contest inspires few words”, in Los Angeles Times, page C3
Twitter, if you’re not familiar with it, is a form of micro-blogging, which allows users to send very short updates on what they’re doing to anyone interested to receive them and last week several “Tweets” – as the Twitter postings are called – started appearing in the BBC’s coverage. […] Given that several “Tweets” instructively contradicted the official line on what was happening you might argue that this enlistment of an army of virtual stringers improved the BBC’s coverage. But that argument wouldn’t take account of the subtle alteration of trust that takes place when you read coverage that cuts and pastes random “Tweets” alongside more conventional forms of BBC journalism.

So it makes sense that just over a year and countless Tweets later, the pair tied the knot last week in a 15-hour extravaganza that was chock-full of spontaneous Tweets not only by the bride and groom, but guests both in-person and on the Web.

I don’t doubt the time- and hassle-saving example, but my guess is that for every one of those there are 999 Tweets about going to the mall or going to see friends or going to see friends at the mall. […] Twitterers join lists of people they want to follow (not my word, but I like it), and if they follow 15 people who send out five Tweets each, that’s a lot of techno-sludge to wade through every day. […] Most of the politicians who aren’t boring are offensive, and any journalist who can tell a story in 140 characters—that’s the maximum Tweet length—isn’t writing about anything that interests me.

“I cannot tell you how many times I have Instagrammed or Tweeted a piece that I am going to use on one of the characters on the show, and fans of the show are just yearning for it,” say Lane.

Corinthia’s bathroom was never discussed with the Lugo Memorial student body, but when it (the bathroom) materialized, it was Facebooked, Instagrammed, Tweeted, Foursquared, WordPressed, Tumblred, Snapchatted, and so thoroughly digitally disseminated that it was as if pictures of Rinna Buss’s breasts had been leaked.
