I saw that coming when I read the headline, but I have to say that at least one thing is really compelling about the switch: people have to be concise. When people have to be concise they put more thought into 1) The communication itself 2) Whether the communication is even necessary That is a positive.

On the other hand, you cannot compress all messages into 140 characters. Recently, we had to setup some buildfiles in this university project and after a while, things grew pretty weird, so we started to exchange informations about what I had done, what I thought that meant and so on. There is no way this information would be transmitted better via 28 140-character-twitter messages or something else. In this case, a nice well-formatted email with each step in a paragraph was the best way to communicate this and it worked very well.
