How Tweet It Is
burstiner The real art here is that to Twitter this column and have people read it online, I’d have to write the whole thing backwards. (7:40 AM May 4th from mobile web)
burstiner Next month, I will try to write this whole column as a palindrome. (7:45 AM May 4th from mobile web)
Marcy Burstiner is an assistant professor of journalism and mass communication at Humboldt State University. She made a mistake in a recent column. Last month she said the first five stories the Times-Standard did on the Humboldt Creamery were about 1,600 words combined. But T-S folks said that the first story they did was 878 words long plus a side info box. Perhaps keeping thoughts to 140-character bursts will leave no room for future errors.
