I believe generally if a medium exists to communicate with others creative people will try to maximize how they can succeed with that medium. The unfortunate part of this is Twitter is both very popular thus potentially a way to reach a ton of people and also the bare minimum for any reasonable communication. Doubly unfortunate is that the mainstream media already oversimplifies, so while I suspect many people wish to present an alternative to how the mainstream media communicates we don't yet have a pervasive technical tool well suited for that.
