    Tweeple, people who “tweet” on Twitter, need to communicate in “messages” that are 140 characters or less. Men, in general, have fewer words in their vocabulary. Studies show men have approximately 1/4 to 1/3 the number of words in their “verbal arsenal” compared to a woman’s verbal capacity. This begs the question…

    Does Twitter’s 140-character limitation favor men, since they use fewer words?

    Women talk more than men, in general. Women are more relational and talk with others more, a quality that makes women good at marketing and communication. But, (all joking here) men talk a lot too, often about themselves.

    Twitter Over Capacity, Brought down by Men?Have you every talked using 140 characters? Is this possible? Yes! Conversations on Twitter often make this micro-blogging platform sink like a whale, and tweetie birds have to carry it back to life. Since men do “whale” in speaking with so few words, I’m assuming more men than women “tweet” on Twitter.

    Hypothesis: Gabby men of few words are taking Twitter down!

    We’re having a controversy, um, I mean conversation, about this on Sphinn: Friends on Twitter = No Life?” Feel free to chime in with your thoughts. (It’s all in fun, mind you.)
