Do I want to live in a world where love, tragedy, life are squashed into the 17 on of a haiku, or the 14 verses of a sonnet?
not disagreeing with you... if you don't want to write or read haiku or sonnet or Twitter, that's cool.
But a good Twitter feed has a certain value, which would not be the same if tweets were unlimited in length.
The constraints, conventions, and formalisms are inherent to any artistic medium.
Twitter is more of an alert/pointer/headline feed, not necessarily a feed of entire opuses (opi?).
Although there are some good haiku and (ultra)short story feeds LOL.
