White House: Twitter is Hard!
Maggie Fox, April 19 2010
In this article from the Politico blog, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs explains that writing for Twitter can be an incredible challenge, “It takes an amazing amount of discipline to write out all of what you want to say in 140 characters or less.”
He’s absolutely right, and I’m reminded of the famous quote from French scientist and philosopher Blaise Pascal, “I have made this letter longer, because I have not had the time to make it shorter.”
What’s your greatest challenge in writing for Twitter? How has it changed the way you write?
