My summary is the sole reason that this guy thinks twitter might be dying.  Nothing about problems making a successful business out if it (which seems to be the main topic of this place).  Don&#x27;t get me wrong, I hope it does die.  I hate the modern web and it consolidating content into a few silos.<p>&quot;Meaningful dialogue&quot; is not a feature that twitter is capable of providing.  Not just because it&#x27;s limited to 140 chars.  Allowing arbitrary length tweets is pointless.  It would degenerate into any other blogging platform.<p>If abuse is such a huge problem then it cannot be solved with the current architecture.  Everyone has a block button but I can see that endless new accounts get around that.  What each person needs is their own filter.  Problem is that twitter would never allow that.  People would use it as an ad filter which defeats the entire point of the platform.
