In the current climate I'm too verbose. I remember when Twitter started being so frustrated at the 140 char limit.
My first ever tweet was "Brevity obfuscates the argument."
So I know I lose people as now they have shorter and shorter attention spans and I try to lay out the background, the data, the analysis and my conclusions. And people just can't be bothered to listen they want the three or four word slogan that means nothing in reality and only enhances the feelings of frustration that nothing improves.
Btw - the above is an example of me whittering on and losing people.
