I propose that HN "charge" users 10 reputation points for a submission that links to twitter, and 1 rep point for linking to twitter in a comment. This is not a punishment. Your comment doesn't get any grayer or dead-er. It's an incentive to deep link when possible. If you can find a better link, we'd appreciate that. If you can't, then pay the fee, or quote the tweet. Oftentimes the important part of the linked tweet is just some other link; please post that directly. The policy should be rescinded if twitter ever resurrects their non-javascript frontend (and pigs fly, etc).
