We seek to record the fleeting insights that can compound into ideas of substance or otherwise evaporate until we maybe trip over them again someday.
# Storm
Twitter asks, "What's Happening".
The answer is a tweet. Some tweets deserve a follow-up. Occasionally long chains of follow-ups ensue which we call "tweet storms".
This wiki favors the tweet style of writing. We make it easier for the writer than the reader. Write thoughts as they come. Write enough words to make a recognizable whole. One or two sentences. Then let it go for now.
# Artifact
Something happens in real life. We think, there it is again. That thing. I know it. I wish I had a name for it.
Give these things names.
Thoughts become artifacts when we name them. The title of a thought storm stands for the thoughts. It is how we find them when we want to remember. And how we link them to other thoughts as the substance emerges.
A memorable title will serve the thought storm better than a descriptive title for something yet fully formed. Titles that are easy to spell and fun to say it will find ways to fit together faster that those that claim to know what need be said.
