A lot of people seem to complain that you can't post an update 'as long as you want' on Twitter (often seems to be coupled with how this is symptomatic of our short attention spans, superficial soundbite culture etc).

This is really missing the point – we already had blogs and are not replacing them with tweets – twitter is the main way I now filter which blog posts and other online material I am going to skim, ignore, read in full, etc.

Anyway, great post.
