David Letterman Tweets

The truth is that there is no old media. And no new media. There is only the present media.
The moral is that the brevity of an e-mail message, a blog post, a text message, even a tweet, is no obstacle to powerful information, a persuasive argument, a literary moment, a zinger, a joke. These forms need not be word dumps, any more than the short forms that preceded them by decades and centuries.
