To Tweet Or Not To Tweet
Like most journalists, I've been all atwitter lately. I wonder, is it all the rage or has it nuked the fridge? Would I have anything valuable to offer or would it just be navel-gazing nonsense? To find out, I fake twittered for a few days. Here's a random sampling:

* The music on Splendid Table is as delicious as the show.
* AT&T study: most popular love text is "thinking of you."
* Isn't that a standard message in all phones?
* Is this an F-bomb record for the New Yorker? Love the McEnroe reference.
* Seeing Lucinda makes me love her and Bill Buford a little more.
* Oontz, oontz music. Shiny white seats. Purple lighting. Does Austin Powers run Virgin Airlines?

Yeah, I for now think I'm going to stick to reading other people's tweets.

I completely agree with you. The best tweets are funny, insightful and informative. I cannot be all three, all the time in under 140 characters. Some people do it well. I think those people have a tweet editor (new line of work???).
