In Brief...

Time magazine is online (duh, like who isn't these days?) and I came across this article entitled "Haiku Nation". Here is the opening excerpt:

Short is in. Online Americans, fed up with e-mail overload and blogorrhea, are retreating into micro-writing. Six-word memoirs. Four-word film reviews. Twelve-word novels. Mini-lit is thriving.

So many (insert your favorite guilty pleasure here), so little time. We live in a society at an age where life is passing us by at a blistering clip; people have become less tolerant of bloated online content. Me? My patience falls somewhere inbetween, and yes, I did sign up for a Twitter account.

This was inevitable, as can be witnessed by a history of Reader's Digest and CliffsNotes.

No Clothes

Those who cannot see,
the Emperor is threadbare?
Yes-men, yes-women.
