my version: "OneClick: Mobile app, users perform common, specific actions in single click; eg, get directions."

98 characters. i agree with his sentiment, but i didn't find his example too compelling...maybe he has room to grow for twitter communication...although an extra 45 characters still might not be sufficient.

The weird thing about twitter is that I see a lot of people who e-mail (longer form writing) me after doing a tweet and their e-mail is a lot tighter even if it is over 140 characters.
If the issue with blogging is feeling obliged to write longer posts, don't. Keep them as short as they need to be, or as time permits, and just make the font bigger.
