A guy has developed a file encoding method, using Chinese characters for some nitty gritty technical reasons, that allows him to encode an image into 140 characters, thus making it tweetable. Obviously a lot of data is lost in such an encoding, but for a first stab the results are pretty cool. Here's how the 140 character encoding of a photo of the Mona Lisa looks when translated back into an image file: __________________ 'He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.' -TJ
