Twitter should solve this problem, they should stick links separately to the 140 characters. Like they don't force you to encode the picture of the person in the 140 characters.

For SMS, well if the link goes beyond 140, send it in a separate SMS? Should SMS messaging compatibility for Twitter break the whole paradigm of transparency of addressing on the web?

Time to move on and create solutions looking forward, not backward.

FriendFeed FTW. You can attach photos [separately], and each FriendFeed post can have a comment thread.

It's not like SMS is limited to 160 characters, anyway.
