Twitter

Interesting. Twitter is apparently struggling a little, and now there is some talk about raising the 140-character limit to 10,000 characters. In other words, they want to make it more like LiveJournal, albeit with somewhat less functionality, given our greater flexibility anent comment threads. I don't know what to make of this, but then I never understood why the LJ platform lost to the likes of Twitter and Facebook in the first place. For instance, they talk about how the 10,000 character tweet will blow up people's feeds (or Freinds Pages), but maybe they can come up with something like, oh, I don't know, how about an LJ-cut?
