It was bad enough that you shortened yourself to max256. That you’ve become a twat quite simply isn’t suitable.

Sounds about right. Easy to solve though by just following people who write things you want to read.

Joel Spolsky:

“It’s a cacophony of people shouting their thoughts into the abyss without listening to what anyone else is saying. Logging on gives you a page full of little hand grenades: impossible-to-understand, context-free sentences that take five minutes of research to unravel and which then turn out to be stupid, irrelevant, or pertaining to the television series Battlestar Galactica. I would write an essay describing why Twitter gives me a headache and makes me fear for the future of humanity, but it doesn’t deserve more than 140 characters of explanation, and I’ve already spent 820.”

Well, Hemingway is reported to have written a novel in six words:
For Sale: baby shoes, never used.

Twit, twut or twoot ?

Twat is the appropriate word, in my opinion.
