Communicating with limited characters: texting helped Twitter take off

Twitter co-founder, Jack Dorsey, thanks lucky stars: [CIO.com]. I'm thankful for micro-blogging (< 140 characters) in general.

  2. This is ingenious. I wish I had thought of it! But I am also thankful for micro-blogging because it makes for short respones :)

  3. You are too funny Merrill! I hate to mess up the trend of short messages... but, have you read the article about the Social Media Blackout at Harrisburg University? The school shut down all wireless network access (without permission) for student to any social media outlet, including Moodle!
