Good point. Users are willing to browse around Twitter (and Facebook) where the experience is consistent, tolerable. And functional enough for many kinds of content creators. They've achieved a sort of balance. User hesitation to follow links out to the open web is lamentable, but wholly understandable. Perhaps some 3rd party service with a recognisable URL could establish itself as a non-horrible, useful supplement to add extra structure to one's posts. (Although I was suggesting something to use instead of Twitter, not something to use with it.)
