This is a bad idea and whoever came up with it should not have.
Twitter is building a new product that will allow users to share tweets that are longer than the company’s 140-character limit, according to multiple people familiar with the company’s plans.
It’s unclear what the product will look like, but sources say it would enable Twitter users to publish long-form content to the service. Users can already tweet out blocks of text with products like OneShot, but those are simply images, not actual text published on Twitter. A Twitter spokesperson declined to comment.
If Twitter has done nothing else, it has done this: it has taught many people how to be mercifully brief in their commentary. It has even taught some of them to be concise – and, dare I say, even clear. Reversing that seems unwise.
So Twitter wants to be just another blogging platform? What could possibly go wrong?

(Maybe somebody should tell them Tumblr already exists?)
Brief? Concise? Clear?

LACONIC, I say.
It has even taught some of them to be concise – and, dare I say, even clear.
