1. The 140-character limit is fairly soft, and it keeps things to
digestible chunks with links to the details.
2. If you think there is a lack of professionals on Twitter, you
clearly haven't used it.
3. It would be as official as we made it.
4. Twitter also has an RSS feed. Your point?
5. Twitter can be updated via SMS, countless phone-based
applications, the web, and (IIRC) e-mail. How, exactly, is that
less "usable" than the E web site?
