Top ten reasons why writers might want to avoid Twitter:
#10: Twitter Addiction–this nagging urge to see what a hundred people you don’t know are thinking
#9: Because your writing will soon become sentences and thoughts all done in 140 character increments (sweet–I have 48 characters left)
#8: @laughsalot101 makes you angry every time you hear what she thinks is funny
#7: You’ll never ever become a trending topic (but Heidi Montag will be)
#6: Because Facebook allows you to be far more creepier–I mean personal
#5: You’re starting to see http://bit. in the middle of EVERY sentence you read.
#4: People on Twitter look so much bigger–and real!–when you meet them
#3: Too many “experts” already on Twitter. Lots and lots of “experts”
#2: Because MeLuvYouLongTimeX24 doesn’t really need to be following anybody on Twitter. I mean–seriously.
#1: Because Neil Gaiman has 1,008,873 more followers than you do

[well, at the art of understatement, or maybe @ the art of abbrev.]
