The claim is a major departure for the service, which has long been known as a destination for posting short snippets of text.

    Likewise I don’t understand the difficulty in reading more than 140 characters.

    But I’ve never used Twitter so when I experience the platform it’s through screen caps of tweets. Instead of having paragraphs and cohesive formatting it reads like a programmer who writes code all in one line. Sure, it can be done and it can be read but it’s fucking awful that it isn’t formatted correctly so that it is more clear.

      It’s formatted how you’d expect if you’ve a timeline on anything, most recent at the top though, right?

        Thats not formatting. That’s like reading a book transcribed on post-it notes and calling it a format. It can be ordered, yes but I’m talking about paragraphs and complete sentences.

          Sure, it’s split into smaller bits because it’s on a site designed for short posts, it’s not hard to follow though.
