One that demonstrates brevity as well. I'm glad that SnagIt is working for you, and thank you for the link. Hope to find time to spend trading posts & comments with my SOBCon friends again soon. Its been a very busy summer with my technology clients, which is both good and bad. Rick Joanna, this is a great encapsulation of powerful writing. One that demonstrates brevity as well.

Honestly though, after so many years behind a firewall I'm like a child in a sweetie shop discovering so many wonderful ways to explore, to create, to connect, to experiment... can't get enough of it at the moment. The twitter answers in compressed form are an art-form aren't they, and (a bit like your experience with the quotes we chose for you yesterday) reveal something vital and important about the person who's selected those words. I'm glad you liked this little experiment. I might have to have a little lie down after the powerful writing extravaganza, but it's been a fantastic experiment and experience, with so many contributions to share. More still in the pipeline too! Joanna Rosa, any time you can want me to come and work with you just let me know and I’ll be there like a shot!

You are the evangelist and fire starter every business dreams of having ...wish my company could afford you full time! First Voice Thread possibilities, and now you are raising the bar (or fertilizing the tree) with our Twitter perches. This is indeed very powerful. I continue to love the 140-character magic on Twitter too - compare this to the rambling that can happen with LinkedIn Answers, though that can be great, and of completely different character too.

That's one that's come up with time and again. I love seeing these patterns and themes emerge - although each person has their own unique way of describing powerful writing. I'm learning so much from this exercise! Maria, you're right. The more I've explored this theme the closer the connections I see to inspiration, reaching into our power source and breathing out dragon fire... Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Each of their definitions evoked a response which I suppose is the hallmark of powerful writing. :-) Joanna, I loved reading what the tweeps had to say about powerful writing.

(And then they'd be hooked and addicted like the rest of us!) Thanks for sharing your own answers here too. Amy, there are some gems here aren't there? I love the way people respond to the challenge of compressing their thoughts into 140 characters, and also responding quickly, without too much editing. I don't know about you but I often find myself wondering at my own responses, as if thinking: wow, I didn't realise I thought or knew that until I wrote it there. Never mind the burned onions, Twitter gives us word power!
