I have seen many people (including the creators) talk in hand-wavy terms about how the restricted size of Twitter messages forces people to consider the economy of communication before they post. I disagree. It doesn't force more efficient communication, it forces the bulk of people to use more abbreviations and invent esoteric words. Forcing people to invent words and rely on acronyms to communicate does not imply more efficient communication, it implies an overly restrictive format and framework.

It looks like Sun is actually updating the code for Open Web Server! Hooray!

The original release, Open Web Server 1.0, was derived from Sun Web Server 7.0 Update 3. With the most recent update Sun has merged the bug fixes and enhancements from Sun Web Server 7.0 update 4 and Update 5 into Open Web Server. Yay!
