Tweets are the soundbites that you don’t even chew over.Before they even come into your head in some full form, you thrust them out onto the world in the hope of instant approbation.You might imagine that rappers, who live in the rhythm of words, would all be Twittermeisters.And yet one Philadelphia judge decided that Meek Mill, a rapper who hopes for an immodest future, needs a little help with his 140-character pronouncements.As the Philadelphia Inquirer reports, Meek was put through the legal mill after allegedly violating his probation following drug and gun convictions.One of the problems that emerged at this hearing is that Meek Mill is penning tweets that allegedly rouse his followers to offer threats to his probation officer.He does have more than 2.5 million followers. He also describes his home town as “Killadelphia.””I really do think it’s time you learned a little Twitter decorum, Mr. Mill,” said the judge.
