Flutter: Because you don't have time to slave over 140 character tweets.

One of Twitter’s unique qualities is the 140 character limit they place on all tweets, essentially forcing you to get to the point and keep your messages short. Sometimes though, even 140 characters is too much to read and when you multiply that number by the number of people you are following, the amount of actual characters and words being read becomes incredibly large.

So how do you solve this problem? You stop using Twitter and get with Flutter, a brand-new nano-blogging concept that restricts your messages — or flaps — to 26 characters or less. Go head, think simple, and get flapping.
