Twitter: Doing 140 just right (a poem by The Web Laureate)

Unfrequently heard type,
Complexitudes the gripe,
Streaming in the pipe,
At twittering so snipe,
With words kept contrite,
Still 140 just right,
Structured more tight,
Usefulness more or slight?

a Venti for your thoughts (a poem by The Web Laureate)

Morning. Rolling out of bed.
Coffee in palm,
Yawning. Now up.
Interacting with those
Browsing, email, rss... and,
Patrons of places I'd not been.
To share vote discuss.
But, interacting, See what changes are brewing.
Nonetheless, Free wifi; more smells; Lower prices for all --
Because the Internet,
This thing...
Isn't it all just about
Making new friends?
