New at BCR: Get your Twitter on

We're trying out a new feature here at BCR: Twitter, the popular micro-blogging service.

One of the digs on BCR sometimes is the blog's, er, wordiness -- this week's piece on white liberals and black Democrats weighed in at a hefty 2,300 words. Tweets, or individual Twitter entries, run no more than 140 characters.

We'll use Twitter for quick intraday updates, be it on items noted about town, breaking news, or offbeat items that might not ordinarily qualify for blog fame.

You can read the BCR Twitter feed on the left hand side of the page or at the Twitter site. Existing Twitter users, follow @bullcity on the service to subscribe.

Big thanks to Sean over at Durham startup Fullsteam Brewery for making the @bullcity channel available to BCR.

Glad to see you join the ranks of the twitterati. Our household likes your wordiness, but we're betting you're good at the pithy takes so suited to twitter, as well.

I knew you'd give in eventually! Hooray! ;)

The people who complain about your "wordiness" are simply too lazy to deal with a long, complex, well-thought-out post. Not everything can be summed up in a few dozen words. Take whatever number of words you need to make your point. Some of us will read the whole thing.

Unless you write a Russian novel. My Russian sucks.
