Yes, there is a correlation between the two--actually, there are several, but I'll save the rest for another time.
Anyway, much hullabaloo has been made about Twitter and how it has been used as a tool to mobilize people during their election. You'll find a good article on Mashable.com about the 2 million tweets.
Social networking tools in general are good for the published, experienced writer who is trying to market his or her stuff. It's good for the non-experienced writer who really needs to stop reading books about writing and instead...well, write.
But what's especially cool and pragmatic about Twitter is its unforgiving nature. A 140-character format forces the writer to think about each word intentionally.
What are some of the most poignant tweets you've read?
