I don&#x27;t think most people &#x27;need&#x27; to read this - it consists of a few important points which can generally be found elsewhere, plus a ton of esoterica that rarely matters.  But as someone who spends a good amount of time on Twitter, I found it <i>interesting</i>, and wouldn&#x27;t appreciate if the amount of content were reduced for accessibility&#x27;s sake.<p>One exception: I don&#x27;t think the self-reply trick is well known, but it&#x27;s useful in the very common case of splitting a message across multiple tweets.  I suppose 10K extended messages will obviate it, if they ever actually show up...
