I disagree, and I personally rarely click through to such "I expand on my thoughts over there" posts. I don't read twitter for that. But I think there is value to the concept of forcing brevity, and I think it's essential to twitter. As I said, some people abuse it and those people should do just as you said, because that's what they really want. Connected tweets are basically like a semicolon in normal writing. They imply a loose connectedness between independent thoughts. When used that way I think they're incredibly valuable for certain kinds of expression, and they still force brevity upon you in ways that "oh just go look at my 10,000 word essay on Medium" does not.
