So, Recode reported today that Twitter was tinkering around with the idea of expanding its 140 character limit to a number a bit higher….10,000 characters.

But what, you ask (and I'm glad you did), does 10,000 characters look like? Well, hey. Let's find out.

Soooo, did you see the Warriors game last night? Crazy, right? It was nice to see Harrison Barnes back and the entire crowd cheered when he entered the game. Steph Curry is probably not human, because he shoots the ball from the parking lot and it swishes like butter. How many characters am I up to now? Lemme check, so hold on….

Anyways, then it started raining today and my dogs don't like rain so it's really difficult to take them outside to do their business in the morning when they don't want to deal with the rain. I try to talk them into the fact that they're actually getting a bath and pooping at the same time, kind of a two birds with one stone thing. They don't buy it. Speaking of rain, it didn't rain on my wedding day like the weather people thought it would. How do they keep their jobs when they're wrong all of the time? It's almost like they could do my job. Wait, I didn't mean that how it sounded. Where are we at now?

1194.

OK. So anyways. Here's a favorite quote of mine from Bill Clinton:

If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.

I think what he's saying is that you can make mistakes, but you have to learn from them. I've made a bunch of mistakes, how about you? My dogs made a mistake this morning because they didn't want to go out in the rain. But that's cool, I don't get mad. Life's too short, you know?

Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit. Never quit.

Did you see the President speak about gun control today? It's important. Probably the most important problem of our time and we have to solve it. Here's what he said today:

THE PRESIDENT: Happy New Year, everybody. Before the New Year, I mentioned that I had given the charge to my Attorney General, FBI Director, Deputy Director at the ATF, and personnel at my White House to work together to see what more we could do to prevent a scourge of gun violence in this country.

I think everybody here is all too familiar with the statistics. We have tens of thousands of people every single year who are killed by guns. We have suicides that are committed by firearms at a rate that far exceeds other countries. We have a frequency of mass shootings that far exceeds other countries in frequency.

And although it is my strong belief that for us to get our complete arm around the problem Congress needs to act, what I asked my team to do is to see what more we could do to strengthen our enforcement and prevent guns from falling into the wrong hands to make sure that criminals, people who are mentally unstable, those who could pose a danger to themselves or others are less likely to get them.

And I've just received back a report from Attorney General Lynch, Director Comey, as well as Deputy Director Brandon about some of the ideas and initiatives that they think can make a difference. And the good news is, is that these are not only recommendations that are well within my legal authority and the executive branch, but they're also ones that the overwhelming majority of the American people, including gun owners, support and believe.

So over the next several days, we'll be rolling out these initiatives. We'll be making sure that people have a very clear understanding of what can make a difference and what we can do. And although we have to be very clear that this is not going to solve every violent crime in this country, it's not going to prevent every mass shooting, it's not going to keep every gun out of the hands of a criminal, it will potentially save lives and spare families the pain and the extraordinary loss that they've suffered as a consequence of a firearm getting in the hands of the wrong people.

I'm also confident that the recommendations that are being made by my team here are ones that are entirely consistent with the Second Amendment and people's lawful right to bear arms. And we've been very careful recognizing that, although we have a strong tradition of gun ownership in this country, that even though it's who possess firearms for hunting, for self-protection, and for other legitimate reasons, I want to make sure that the wrong people don't have them for the wrong reasons.

So I want to say how much I appreciate the outstanding work that the team has done. Many of you worked over the holidays to get this set of recommendations to me. And I'm looking forward to speaking to the American people over the next several days in more detail about it.

Thank you very much, everybody.

Regardless of where you stand on the matter, we have to change some things.

Back to tech. Are you at CES? I'm not this year. Mostly because there's a lot of germs and I shouldn't be around them if I can help it. I'm pretty sure my dogs would have liked it though, because there's a lot of tech in Vegas for all kinds of people (and pets). If you were a dog would you want a phone? Or a self-feeding thing? Of course you would. You'd have to sit around all day watching your parents use technology while you sit around and lick yourself. What kind of existence is that? I know, right? I hope there's some dog tech that comes out of the conference, otherwise it's a wash.

Time for another quote. JFK this time:

When written in Chinese, the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.

I think what JFK meant was just because things aren't going your way doesn't mean that it won't eventually. You have to play the long game, you have to stick in there and see things as far as you can possibly see them. It's like Twitter. People are worried about whether Twitter can weather the storm of lack of growth. I think it can. What about the character count? Well, I personally feel like asking people to keep their thoughts shorter make them more powerful. They're easier to share. Repeat, etc. What will happen when people can put this much text in a tweet? I don't know. I do know that I don't want to spend hours reading tweets because I like the fact that I can glance at the app and figure out what's going on pretty quickly.

If I wanted to write a book, I'd do it on Facebook.

But maybe people want more characters. I'm not sure who, though. I'd like to meet them. Maybe they have dogs, too. We could chat about that.

What are your favorite movies? I have a top 10 and it changes sometimes:

– Rocky

– Forrest Gump

– Cast Away

– Fantastic Mr. Fox

– Signs

– Lars and the Real Girl

– Superbad

– Spaceballs

– Shawshank Redemption

– Jackie Brown

Here's another quote, this time from Maya Angelou:

The thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else's cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you call God – if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. That's what I think.

Being a blessing to someone is a great way to be. Have you been a blessing to someone lately? I feel like we could all do a better job of that, even if it's in small ways. I feel like people always want to do something great and massively huge, but forget about all of the little things along the way. Making someone smile, holding the door for someone, giving someone a hug when they really really need it. Those kinds of things last forever. Don't hold back on doing a bunch of little great things to do something huge that you'll get overwhelmed with and not follow through on.

8614. Wow, this is a lot of characters.

I feel like Kurt Wagner did a good job of talking about the ramifications of expanding tweets to 10,000 characters:

The design aspect is key. Making Tweets bigger by adding more content or bigger pictures has diminished user engagement in the past, according to one source. That makes sense. If tweets take a long time to consume or take up more space on your screen, it's likely that you'll view (and engage with) fewer of them. So Twitter is trying to add more content without disrupting the way you currently scroll through your timeline.

How can Twitter become more like Facebook without becoming Facebook? There's too many words on Facebook, something the company itself is trying to get away from by introducing all sorts of new media, like 360 degree videos. There's always a place for long form content, and just because you have the space doesn't mean Open in app

10,000 Characters

How many words might that add up to? How many pages? How many minutes of reading would that entail?

Like many other Twitter users I have some feelings about the lifting of the 140 character limit and potentially expanding it to up to 10,000. I had and have feelings about the shift from favorites as stars to hearts indicating a "like."

I read the articles and posts describing Twitter's downfall, death, corruption and fight for survival because this is the social media space that beGCFGlobal Logo

Grammar: Run-on Sentences

What is a run-on sentence?

When you speak, you pause between sentences to let people know where each sentence ends. In writing, periods are like this pause. The pause can also be a question mark or an exclamation point. When two sentences are next to each other without any punctuation marks between them, you have a run-on sentence.

Run-on sentences are a problem because they make it difficult to tell where one sentence ends and the next one begins. As you can see in the picture below, writing without periods is like speaking very fast without stopping. Both are difficult to understand! That's why it's so important to fix run-ons in your writing.

image

How can you recognize a run-on sentence?

If you don't signal when your sentence ends

In the example above, the horse's speech actually has four complete sentences in it. But they don't have periods between them, which makes this example a run-on. To fix this, you need to find the end of each sentence and mark it with a period, question mark, or exclamation point.

You can do this by reading the run-on sentence out loud to yourself. Put periods in places where you stumble or pause while you're reading. Then look at each period and ask yourself: Is this sentence really over? Did it start in the right place? Check to make sure all of your sentences make sense and that there aren't any words left out. Then you'll know you've fixed the run-on sentence.

If you correct the horse's run-on sentence, you'll end up with something like this:

Yesterday my hoof was hurting. Cowboy here tried to put some ice on it. I told him ice doesn't help hooves. He always thinks he knows better.

If two complete sentences are joined by a comma

Commas in writing are like taking a quick breath in the middle of a thought or a sentence. They don't signal the end of a sentence. If two complete sentences are separated by a comma instead of a period, it's a run-on sentence. Let's look at an example:

My clothes dryer isn't working, my clothes smell like mildew.

In this example, My clothes dryer isn't working is one complete sentence, and my clothes smell like mildew is another. This makes this example a run-on sentence. You can fix run-ons like this by replacing the comma with a period. Make sure to capitalize the letter after the period, as we've done here:

My clothes dryer isn't working. My clothes smell like mildew.

Here's another example of this kind of run-on sentence:

Fruit in that store is usually rotten, you really shouldn't shop there.

You can correct this example by adding a period: Fruit in that store is usually rotten. You really shouldn't shop there. Don't confuse this kind of run-on sentence with correct sentences like this:

Before you buy fruit from that store, you should check it for mold.

In this example, you should check it for mold is a complete sentence. But before you buy fruit from that store is a fragment. It's not complete. (Want to know why? Review our lesson on Fragments.) It's OK to connect a fragment to a complete sentence with a comma, so this example is not a run-on sentence.

When sentences are just too long

Sometimes sentences have the right punctuation, but they're just too long to be easy to read. These sentences are also run-on sentences. Here's an example:

If I seem a little crazy, angry, and grouchy right now, it is, I think, because Emily, my coworker, who sits at the next cash register, keeps singing that song from the cartoon where the chicken keeps exploding, and the little boy tries to make the chicken angry, and I think I'm going to explode if I hear that song one more time.

You can fix run-ons like this by splitting them up into complete sentences, just like we did with the other run-ons in this lesson. You can also take out details that don't help people understand the writer's main point. In our example, information about the other cashier singing is important. Without these details, we won't understand why the writer is grouchy. But we don't really need to know about the characters in the cartoon.

You can also take out words and facts that repeat something the writer has already said. For example, we probably don't need to know that this person is crazy, angry, and grouchy. We'd understand if the writer just used the word grouchy.

To correct sentences that are too long, you'll usually want to do all three of these things. Here's how we fixed the long sentence in our example. Click the dots to see how we decided what to take out.

Here's what our example looks like after we've edited it:

If I seem a little grouchy right now, it is because Emily, my coworker, keeps singing that song from the cartoon with the exploding chicken. I think I'm going to explode if I hear that song one more time.

There are actually many different ways we could have corrected this sentence. As long as you end up with sentences that follow grammar rules, are easier to read, and stick to the main idea of the original sentence, your version is correct.

Is it OK to use run-on sentences?

It is almost never a good idea to use run-on sentences in writing. Writers and poets sometimes use them to repeat something important or to imitate the way people talk. But run-on sentences are usually incorrect. They make it too difficult to understand your writing.

Here's a run-on sentence that contains three complete sentences. Click the dots where you think the periods should go.

st meets my needs so far. And every time I feel myself about to say something sentimental about how and why I "care" about Twitter, I slap myself upside the head and remind myself that like hundreds of other corporations this is one more that is aiming to generate shareholder profits via my ongoing display of "care": filling their platform with thousands of data points per hour.

And so it was with great relief that I read an article which made plain for me exactly what is at stake with Twitter lifting its signature 140 character limit. Will Oremus argues convincingly that it's not about the length of the tweet:

What's really changing here, then, is not the length of the tweet. It's where that link at the bottom takes you when you click on it — or, rather, where it doesn't take you. Instead of funneling traffic to blogs, news sites, and other sites around the Web, the "read more" button will keep you playing in Twitter's own garden.

After a while, you may notice that this garden has expanded to take in territory that once lay beyond its walls — and that those walls are a little higher than you remember them being. Stories published on Twitter may not be available elsewhere. At the same time, Twitter might start to exercise some control over which stories available elsewhere will be allowed inside its garden.

The title of his post: "Twitter Isn't Raising the 140 Character Limit. It's Becoming A Walled Garden" says so much. And what it revealed to me was how much corporations are vested in guiding consumers in the "best way" to enjoy a service or product. Brand loyalty is even more important than ever. Attracting an audience or following is one thing, but to keep your audience tethered to your platform/service/product long enough for them to receive adequate 'experience enhancers' in the form of specifically targeted advertising; that is fully another.

And seen that way, I can't believe that I have fallen in so deeply with all of this. How many terms of use have I knowingly accepted without so much as glancing at the details of my unique surrender? How widely and generously have I distributed my cookies among countless third parties?

So if Twitter changes its character limit, I have essentially all the same choices I have every day. To stay or go. To feed the insatiable monster or reduce my offerings. In truth, I've already become quite comfortable in my little garden space. Some things have begun to take root and grow, even thrive on some days. I appreciate the many neighborly interactions with other gardeners. And the wealth of our conversations is generated by the fact that none of us live in our Twitter gardens. We all come and go, check in and check back out. We bring our experiences from elsewhere and re-examine them back in the garden.

And yet, this garden with walls or without, is hardly built for permanence, although we like to behave as if that were the case. Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey was quoted in a USA Today article describing the company's logic in contemplating the change:

Dorsey has pledged to challenge long-held beliefs and conventions at Twitter in an attempt to reignite user growth.

"I've challenged our teams to look beyond assumptions about what makes Twitter the best play to share what's happening. I'm confident our ideas will result in the service that's far easier to understand and much more powerful," Dorsey said during the company's third-quarter conference call.

What struck me here was the idea of "long-held beliefs and conventions" in a company that is just over 10 years old. "Long-held beliefs" move fast in Silicon Valley and therefore for the rest of us, too, apparently. And "reignit[ing] user growth" is every company's headache. That upward growth curve simply can't go on forever the way it started. But that seems very hard to accept if you made so much money (or amassed so much attention) for a while there. If Silicon Valley insists that 5–8 years is time enough to have established "long-held beliefs" then none of us should be surprised when these same corporations begin to speak of "glory days" after 15 years in the market.

Understanding why companies do the things they do with us and supposedly for us has to become an additional priority in our digital day-to-day. This pains me. I would really rather not bother. But there is too much at stake. How much have I already shared and surrendered? What happens if rather than introducing higher walls, bulldozers arrive and the Twitter garden is made over into a giant strip mall?

This is why we need to keep our eyes open. If you catch me saying that I "care" about Twitter — remind me that Twitter does not care much about me. Twitter cares about Twitter's survival which now is only measured in economic terms, suitable for Wall Street exchanges. 140 or 10,000 characters of expression will neither provide the cure nor seal the demise.

Someday we'll look back and laugh.
