		<description>Nice. I like the idea of Tweeting a pitch.  Make it clear and make it stand out.</description>

		<description>I appreciate the fact that the &quot;!&quot; has resurfaced.  As long as it is not overused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Twitter has helped me work on crafting more succinct messages -- tough with a character limit versus a word limit.

Considering having future job applicants tweet their pitch -- might be fun to add to the interview process.

I&#039;m sort of a lone wolf pack.</description>

		<description>Agreed --  practice is key. I never stop learning or improving. 

I like that social media has changed the way we write. Now, instead of sounding so formal and &quot;professional&quot; we can speak to each other in a conversational way.

Thanks for stopping by, Robert.</description>

		<description>I am in exactly the same boat as you are. I very rarely used to use th exclamation mark but over the last couple of years I seem to be using it more and more. Twitter has certainly had an impact but I think Facebook has too. 

Short, sharp messages on Social Networking sites has made an impact on how I communicate with others and probably how others interprete my communications. Understanding how to communicate in a way that means my messages are decoded in the way I encoded them, across a variety of plaforms, is becoming more and more difficult.

With the changes that are currently taking place in communication though, this is a skill we will all need to build moving forward. &#039;Practice makes (almost) perfect&#039; is my approach!

What do you think?
