How concise is "concise"

First you write a book, then a paper, then an article, then a blog, and now a tweet. Your story is getting short but are getting more concise?

It really does not matter if you are writing a book or a tweet - concise is the same. Keep the topic central; edit out the waffle and get to  the point. It is the same rule for a 400 page book all the way down to 140 characters in a tweet. Readers see write through the padding and only want the real story.

In other words, be concise.
