I ( @nonlinearmind )propose that Wikipedia, the open-source encyclopedia, make condensed versions of their articles available for twitter users. Wikipedia is by far the greatest open source of information on all topics on the Internet. Where it fails however is in it's long-winded passages. Twitter is becoming a larger and larger presence on the Internet and users do not have time to read long form articles. Therefore, it is only logical that Wikipedia provides for a growing segment of users who prefer their information conveyed to them in fewer than 140 characters. Here is a sample of a possible article on the twitter version of Wikipedia.

George W. Bush - 43rd US prez. Born 7/6/46. Elected 2000, served 01-Jan. 09. Wife: Laura, 2 kids, Father: prez. George H.W.
