After writing my first draft of this story, I went through it and removed all the words I didn’t need. Every sentence in this story — except for one excerpt — is now 140 characters or less.


Whether we’re talking about a 700-word column or a 3,500-word narrative, there’s value in paying attention to the words we use and the way we use them. Twitter helps us do that.
