    One problem with twitter is that 140 characters doesn’t allow for nuance. Doesn’t extending the character limit help fix that?

        Fair point. But this also demonstrates that more characters won’t solve our problems... (I liked your feisty comeback, though.)

        See the comment section of blogs...or of Facebook. Not sure the character limit is the problem.

        Is the problem a lack of nuance, or is it that too many users come on Twitter daily to vent their spleens to strangers?

        Somehow, I don't think @realDonaldTrump will take advantage of the extra characters to add "nuance".

        If one doesn't like tweet-storms, sure, but makes scrolling over over big amount of tweets longer and the forced shortening made everyone
