I joined Twitter - Out of sheer, bashing, crashing, snoring boredom I joined Twitter. It's a strange community. There is a lot of snore chatter, but a lot of relevant hiding in the snore. Each comment is only allowed to be about 140 characters long which includes spaces and punctuation, which would kick most MyLot posters out by default. (MyLot actively discourages 'chatspeak' where Twitter, being so tight on space, demands it. I'm bilingual, I can do both. I generally 'chatspeak' when my corporal tunnel syndrome bites or when chat space is at a real premium.
