Walt Mossberg – For iPad and Mobile Devices, a “Port” out of the Norm
It’s easy to laugh at nonsense on Twitter, the micro-blogging rage. “My nose is leaking,” writes someone called Zapples. “So imma go to sleep now…” But I’ve heard lots of similar drivel (and even produced some myself) on the phone–an important technology if there ever was one. The key question today isn’t what’s dumb on Twitter, but instead how a service with chicklet-sized messages topping out at 140 characters can be smart, useful, maybe even necessary.
This is a section of the AllThingsD Web site featuring posts that have been curated from around the Web: pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Five posts are included here each weekday, but only the headline and the first two sentences. We link to the original site for the rest. The section is explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that content comes “from other Web sites.”
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions. Voices is edited by Beth Callaghan.
