Twitterature? Ugh.

Twitterature, coming soon from Penguin Books. According to Mashable, Twitterature, the brain child of some University of Chicago freshmen, takes the classics and cuts them down into twenty Twitter-length tweets. So the great works of Shakespeare, for example, would be reduced to twenty tweets, 140 characters or less of course.

According to the creators, these "hipster's Cliff Notes" are the "birthday, Christmas, Hanukah and 4th of July for ever hip young person between the ages of 18 and 35 in this country"... quite a bold statement I'd say. Another example of Twitter infiltrating everything from television shows to classic literature!
