While trying to keep my “tweet” under the character limit, I’m having all sorts of “revelations” about the way in which my communication techniques (ie word choices, sentence structure, etc) is affected by the medium I am using to communicate: twitter v. phone v. ichat v. text v. email v. email on iphone, etc etc etc….

So this is what Professor Mittell means that using the technology helps us understand it.

Not just looking for brownie points (though they would be nice)–I mean it.
