whether it’s a fad or not, Twitter’s an interesting development in communication.

i consider it micro performance art. thoughts in 140 characters or less, a restriction which lends well to haiku.

and if one is engaged in a duel of @ replies and re-tweets, then one is more or less doing conversation as performance art.

i suggest NOT managing your tweets. don’t try to drink from a firehose. just dip your feet in the stream.

(Belated thanks to Kevin Cheng’s brilliant Twitter manifesto, from whom I wantonly stole the firehose / stream thing.)
