The core problem is that the length of a tweet should be "one concisely-stated thought", but that's hard to write into an API's documentation :)

Not in the real world no, although people are nostalgic for the pre-crash US, but on the Internet I think it definitely is. Put another way, if you changed Twitter into Medium people would be talking about "the old Twitter" with nostalgia.

Well, that's why I said "hardly" and not "not." :)
