Many people complain about the Twitter format and I agree. Fortunately, Twitter allows people to use about 2KB of text in a tweet, if you encode it as a URL:

The URL: http://because.a.tweet.doesnt.fit.lucb1e.com/?text=From%3A+h...

Example tweet: https://twitter.com/lucb1e/status/765544321747718144

This uses a third party site to display, but the data is all in the URL. Anyone could verify that the site (my site in this case) is not tampering with the content.



I actually enjoy the format. It's easy and fast to read, and forces the author to distill their thoughts.
