@Scott:

That makes sense. I’d suggest sending the haiku submissions using the “@adaptivepath” moniker in the beginning of the message then. It’ll appear to us as a Reply, not a Direct Message. But, we’ll see them nonetheless. I’ll edit the original post above.

This is all part of the experiment. We’re learning the pros and cons of using non-traditional methods of content submission. It’s also been interesting to watch how the use of a social network can spread the ideas around.

Thanks for your patience and keep the submissions coming in!

Why are you using Twitter for this. Don’t you know it’s for “lunatic crazies”

Some submissions have already come in. In order to avoid a debate on the true form of haiku, let’s stick to the more modern definition of the 5-7-5 pattern.

Using Twitter is a great way to communicate in a very short format. I am curious about using this method as a way of submitting content outside of the traditional web-based forms. I’m also interested in the uptake of using microblogging sites for content creation rather than simple content recording.

Truth be told, Twitter is just fun.

@Andrew:

In order to participate in a fun competition at adaptivepath.com why must one goto another site?
