I agree with you. But it's likely they will extend the character limit to much more, and that will change the nature of the service.

- n0us 11y agoIt might be interesting to see Twitter modify their core service on some variation of what I posted, but also reopen their API and serve as a backbone for real time messaging applications that other developers can use either at the cost of money, or allowing Twitter to populate their feed with ads and subsequently share part of the profit with the app maker. I see a lot of potential for what Twitter has in their hand but the fact that that potential has not been utilized already makes me wonder if it will ever be used/if there is some kind of organizational disfunction going on that is preventing them from acting nimbly. Things like twitter polls and moments seem like bandaids to cover a slashed artery. They're designed to restore faith in the company so they don't get destroyed by timid investors but they don't add any real value to the company as I see it. Periscope is a step in the right direction also and I think that it adds some real value but I am left wondering why they didn't just acquire Meerkat. Still, either one is an early stage risky bet that isn't going to save Twitter within the next year or two which is what I think they will need. It's essentially a one product company.
