Twitter was always about limiting yourself, originally to posts about as long as a text. That was kinda the point. They increased the post length a while ago, but as a long time fan of long form forum conversations, I never saw much point in Twitter. Then this crazy nutjob bought it and it appealed to me even less. Still, these limits seem reasonable as he paid so much for it and it hasn’t made him a profit. So yeah, I think anyone who wants to use it more than that should maybe pay… or find another service to post on.
