> It amuses me more than it should that the CEO of Twitter has posted an image of text (from the iOS Notes app?) to get around the Twitter character limit.

I also find quite amusing the fact that Twitter's original 140 character limitation stemmed from compatibility with SMS gateways.

That part of Twitter is now all but obsolete, I assume. But we're left in a regressed state where people still communicate long-form text as if going through SMS ("threads").

These constraints are good. Brevity is the soul of wit. Nobody wants to read your essay. If you want to tweet longer, you should pay for it, one way or another.
