TwitBook: Proof of Concept

Here's an excerpt from a New York Times article from last Friday. Section: Automobiles. It's a review of the new Nissan Cube.
It is an antihero of a car — a cartoon car perhaps. Mr. Nakamura says it is appropriate for these belt-tightening times when expensive, macho and very fast cars seem out of place. The Cube’s engine has fewer horses (122) than a Tweet can have characters (140).
Totally superfluous twitter reference. Take a drink.
