Lots of hate in this thread. I think tweetstorms are 1) actually useful, 2) obviously something people are using twitter for and 3) better improvement than the character expansion. The character limit combined with the threading, made people really think when writing, rather than blathering on - in other words, it forced people to edit themselves. It's strange they made this change AFTER they made the character limit change (and it seems maybe less useful now), but it's still long-overdue.
