The advantage of a tweetstorm is that readers can like/retweet individual paragraphs. This high-granularity feedback can be surprisingly useful data to the writer.

On the other hand, it encourages writers to make every individual paragraph as inflammatory as possible (I've never once read a quality newspaper article with "Let that sink in" in it), wilfully encourages paragraphs to be taken out of context, and means that 'readers' get a half-baked thought from the middle of an article dumped in their newstream. This is entirely not how media was meant to be consumed.
Media is meant to be consumed the way people consume it.
