To Tweet or not to Tweet

Just when you thought you'd figured out Twitter's purpose in life, a group of people turns the social network into a virtual Globe Theater.

For @AmwayShakes, all the world's a stage. Literally. Beginning February 14, a 19-person Twitter cast will perform Twitter of the Shrew, a Twitter adaptation of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. The group will act out one scene per day on its Twitter account until the cast takes its final bow on February 25.

Crazy? Absolutely. And although Shakespeare is probably rolling in his grave right now, I kind of like the idea. It's new. It's different. It's stretching the limits.

Every day more and more people are developing new ways to exercise their creativity online. I find it an intoxicating and inspiring atmosphere, no matter how crazy the concepts.

I had good lunch. I am full.

I'm reading Kelly's blog. My mind is a newsprint.

Ah... I'm sleepy. Tweet you later.
