This is interesting to me. The 140 character limit definitely works for what Twitter does, but is it optimum? How would you even tell? I love the long form messages that being in a place like HN allows you to have. I also think that there's something unique to Twitter that being on HN does not provide. I can't quite articulate that yet, though. Would anyone using Twitter care to try?
