The Abbreviation of Everything

NP: XTC, "Making Plans For Nigel"

It's bad enough that Nicolino has suddenly become a huge fan of Twitter, now two University of Chicago students are embarking on a project where they rewrite great works of literature in 140-character bursts. Until recently, this method of delivery had been reserved for snark attacks on current events, although Slate seems to have taken down their Mark Sanford Twitter feed.

Somehow, this just seems wrong, although I'm still looking forward to explaining how Twitter can work for marketers and, more importantly, how you might be able to tell if it's working.
