And so it moves ever inward in increasingly smaller sound bytes. The exchange of information. Human beings can't read encyclopaedia's anymore - they don't think they have the time. So now we chew time like small mints - quick dissolving, intense and ostensibly refreshing.

Sure! The majority of Tweets and microblogged status reports do link to vastly more extensive stuff via tiny URL's, I agree! But on the whole we want the thesis statement before we choose to read and we only choose to read if we trust the Tweeter yeah?

Identity in 140 characters? Never has great literacy skills been more important than now.

Was sceptical re Twitter; but think it has a (modest?!) role to play in knowledge transmission.
