Twitter has become a powerful tool, and one that is open to anyone to use. And writing in the "short form" (140-160 characters) is not limited just to Twitter, but other forms of social networking, too, such as Facebook (175 million users) and LinkedIn (16.5 million users).
And so the question becomes: how do I best use the 140 character space for myself and my business? "140 Characters: A Style Guide for the Short Form" by Dominic Sagolla aims to do for Twitter and other social networking sites what Strunk & White's "The Elements of Style" did for good writing on paper via lessons in grammar and composition, but also discussing the importance of simplicity, honesty, and humor. Sequential short form communications represent a new kind of memoir. A collection of time-stamped journalistic entries can even be considered a stand-alone work, much like the collected letters of old. Unlike the older forms of literature, though, the new work is alive and off the page.
