Pith is a challenge for everyone, especially when you are used to the freedom to extend thoughts and arguments in the halls of academia. There is very little room in the professional world for extensive statements, especially when they are written or printed for quick dissemination by supervisors and important officials. This is especially true in the public sector.
Can Twitter's demand for short, effective comments develop an individuals ability to shorten their language in other settings and improve effectiveness with information delivery? Can the transition be made in a manner that retains the importance of grammar and prevents texting speak from gaining a non desired foothold in professional, multi-generational communication?
I definitely see the value of using Twitter as an exercise in identifying the most essential components of a message in order to compile and present for maximum effectiveness in delivery. Please let me know what you think, either on comments here or by replying to http://twitter.com/kwhunter.
