.@t This isn't Chopin we're dealing with. Most tweets are meant to perish, like words in a phone call.

@kevinmarks @zeldman @t Yes, it's the confines of Twitter + their ability to landslide drive_traffic_back towards a site that makes this UX.

@zeldman @kevinmarks Yeah, annoying re: lotta clicking but @t could provide that @ functionality on his site, but he's an edge case.

.@t @zeldman if you want to flexibly tweet and form long messages and whatnot, then you are missing the entire point of Twitter.
