3年前，应该没有想过会有140字符的小说。140字符相等于在手机的一则简讯及Twitter的最大字符数目。在这个快速的时代中，大家都没有时间去阅读冗长的文章。本近来最畅销的书，反而是手机小说。
日前，CopyBlogger就揭晓针对这个现象举行了twitter140字符小说比赛的得奖名单。在331个参赛文章中，脱颖而出的是Ron Gould 的文章：
“Time travel works!” the note read. “However you can only travel to the past and one-way.” I recognized my own handwriting and felt a chill.
没想到这个“紧凑的科幻小说”让他赢取了8GB iPod Touch、100美金的iTunes礼券、SEO训练计划及BlogWorld2008通行证。感觉我们复古了，古人是因为竹简不方便携带所以才将文字进行简短，而我们是太忙了，结果也使用简短的文字表达出来。
次奖文章：
Tony was a snitch, so I wasn’t surprised when his torso turned up in the river. What did surprise me, though, was where they found his head.
三奖文章：
When Gibson hit that homerun in the fall of eighty-eight, my old man had never been so happy. He hugged me for the first time. I was eleven.
