Lots of comments @ #Twitter10k

1. I was just recently considering switching to twitter as I use my Facebook more like Twitter.

This would confuse the issue for me.

2. I like the discipline of the 140 character limit

It throws up some wonderfully funny and trenchant comments at times.

It's a little art form in a way.

7. Agreed.

8. They'll need to radically reformat their interface.

Already the rather large image dimension limit makes for a lot of scrolling. Huge text fields will make the problem a lot worse. And while I'm not often one of them, I suspect most Twitter users are using smartphones. Even worse on a wee little screen.

9. NO.

that would give Mark Sanford more space to air his personal problems.
