Twitter: Don’t Change
I’ve had so many things I’d been wanting to blog for a while now, I just, as soon as I log into Wordpress, I’m not inspired anymore. My buddy Jason Schupp put it best:
Jason Schupp: Yeah, that’s happened to me too, a lot!
Jason Schupp: I don’t know what it is. I’m starting to wonder if it’s the writing tool or what.
Jasmeet: you know where I feel I write best?
Jasmeet: Twitter.
Jason Schupp: Ha! Constraints are amazing.
Jason Schupp: Honestly. You give people a blank sheet of paper and a pencil and say “write about anything,” they’re going to flounder. Give them constraints and they’ll write something.
Jason Schupp: Twitter has the 140 character constraint.
So when I read posts like this, it just annoys me like a fly flying in the bathroom. Honestly, if you feel you ‘need’ for all these features that Twitter lacks, go use Pownce or some other service. Twitter works because of constraints and simplicity. When I go over 140 characters, I don’t think “I’ve hit a limit”; I think “I need to cut this down, or it’s not worth tweeting.”
