@stop The status update field included the 140-character countdown to keep you aware of how much space you had left. Max length of 140, because status updates were originally delivered through SMS, which had a limit of 160 characters, minus room for the 15-char username plus spaces.

Struck by the awkwardness of ‘twitterable’ in Art of the Tweet: http://tr.im/gXaQ – we need a shorter word for that. I propose twirble.

@hey_sterling My biggest piece of advice: if you can, go during the week, esp M-W. That time of year, weekdays will have way shorter lines.
