Not a single tweet and the guy's already on 29 lists (and counting)...

Forstall

Tweet It

(With apologies to Twitter and the late Michael Jackson.)

They told him don't you ever blog around here.
We're forming into cliques that you'll get nowhere near.
We wouldn't read your posts if you bought us a beer.
So Tweet it, just Tweet it.

You have a lot to say, opinion is strong.
But no one reads a thing that's over 10 words long.
You better make it quick, or soon you'll be gone.
So Tweet it, Tweet it.

Tweet it! Tweet it!
Keep it short and folks will read it.
Show 'em how pithy you have become. 
Anything long and our brains go numb.
Just Tweet it, just Tweet it.

You wanna talk about a great thing you've heard,
But you must think in characters and not in words.
We don't have time for sentences, don't be so absurd.
So Tweet it, just Tweet it.

If you can keep it short then you will do well.
You might get lots of followers who think you're swell.
With luck you might even make the SUL.
So Tweet it, Tweet it.

Tweet it! Tweet it!
All blog posts are so conceited.
Don't put the effort in being distinct, 
Much more important you be succinct.
So Tweet it, Tweet it...

The End of Fail, Fails.

This is kind of funny: 1) Anil Dash writes a great post regarding the end of fail. 2) I pull an appropriate Twitter-length quote and try to tweet it. 3) I get this:

4) My irony meter explodes. It made me forget the purpose of the article for a moment, and I had to laugh. Whether I get to tweet this or not, I recommend Anil's article highly; it's a worthy read. It basically reminds us of what we already knew: It's easier to destroy a house than to build one. We should concern ourselves more with fixing it from the inside.
