A tweet is that 140 character sentence you're allowed in twitter.

Mumbai tragedy was covered by locals tweeting details. Police had to ask folks to cut it out because bad guys might have been monitoring. It seems like a totally useless technology but it has its charms and its utility. Press conference – oh, please.

Why Israel Feels Threatened

By BENNY MORRIS
Published: December 29, 2008

Li-On, Israel

MANY Israelis feel that the walls — and history — are closing in on their 60-year-old state, much as they felt in early June 1967, just before Israel launched the Six-Day War and destroyed the Egyptian, Jordanian and Syrian armies in Sinai, the West Bank and the Golan Heights.

More than 40 years ago, the Egyptians had driven a United Nations peacekeeping force from the Sinai-Israel border, had closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping and air traffic and had deployed the equivalent of seven armored and infantry divisions on Israel’s doorstep. Egypt had signed a series of military pacts with Syria and Jordan and placed troops in the West Bank. Arab radio stations blared messages about the coming destruction of Israel.

War Over Gaza

Published: December 29, 2008

Israel must defend itself. And Hamas must bear responsibility for ending a six-month cease-fire this month with a barrage of rocket attacks into Israeli territory. Still we fear that Israel’s response — devastating airstrikes that represent the largest military operation in Gaza since 1967 — is unlikely to weaken the militant Palestinian group substantially or move things any closer to what all Israelis and all Palestinians need: a durable peace agreement and a two-state solution.

The Israeli Consulate will not be able to control this medium. It can't call up a major player and threaten them with lack of funding like AIPAC. This is truly global. And it is more a psychic medium than anything else. You succeed at Twitter by being able to sense what people really fer, and talking to thatl. Pablum doesn't cut it. People can unfollow you and you are dead-meat.

This is Phil's medium, But he doesn't know it yet.

As someone wrote, and I am paraphrasing: to make a Tweet Sweet, write it tight.
