social networking/time-waster popular on the InterWebs (IW) called
Twitter that produces Twits, er, Tweets, that is, short pieces of

Yes, 60-second psych is sort of a snackable psychology. But hey: I've
gotten complaints that my podcast episodes (which average out at about 25

Yup. It was a dumb rule before, and they have finally half-fixed it.

Since this is a change, you wouldn't have ever seen it done. The 6th edition

It appears to me that important evaluative steps are being ignored or
