I like the motivation being fear but am not at all sure about it being an altar of mortality - surely Tweeting is more an Altar of Neediness and it's the escape from such that leads to the Altar of Mortality...<br /><br />But perhaps we're over-thinking this now.<br /><br />:DSandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548726163260606366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8447900521916913781.post-36602598374974260772011-01-08T17:30:50.071-08:002011-01-08T17:30:50.071-08:00I like the lift…

You have to pare down your vocabulary. Anglo Saxon words get to the point with many fewer characters. Twitter is either a promotion tool - whatever it is you're promoting - or a colossal waste of time.
