The name is from the onomatopoeic English word for a dog's bark, "woof" (in contrast to the name used for speakers designed to reproduce high-frequency sounds, tweeter).</i><br /><br />A novelty site called <a href="http://woofertime.com/home/about">Woofer</a> requires a minimum of 1400 characters, and uses people's existing Twitter identities. It's an amusing concept, and I was playing with it today.<br /><br />I am well-known as a long-winded person who will never use a few words when many will do, so I have been finding it an interesting experiment for me to use Twitter and text messaging. It has been teaching me at least a few basic lessons in the art of brevity.<br /><br />So, are you a "woofer" who uses lots of words, or a "tweeter" who uses few? :-)<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=catecumen&ditemid=17788" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
