@paulg why not? Too restrictive? Or is it the other people?
If anyone would like compressing ideas into 140 chars, it would be me. But mostly I don't.

@mattknox The former. Though the loss in compression does tend to make you a target for those who want to misinterpret you. - Show replies

@paulg I like to think "how can I get my ideas across in 140 words or less" these days. My emails have gotten a lot shorter!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg it's always better when you see things in movie form like when some kid spreads your invite form over the InternetThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@JeffreySchwab I get that, but a sufficiently good writer cares as much about the reader as any editor. -
@paulg@JeffreySchwab not everybody is a good writer, ergo Twitter restriction does help the reader :)

@paulg agree. Becomes too much about (re)sharing hyperlinks and less about sharing thoughts, opinions and ideas.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg Effective compresing requires feature engineering, i.e. you need "big" concepts that often don't exist. Truths are Bohr's truths.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
