The problem isn't Twitter trying to be something it's not, it's that the short broadcasts that are hashtag groupable just is not a useful platform. People want long form writing platforms, but don't want to choose between Twitter, where people are, and blogging, where people aren't.

But this:

I completely disagree with.
It's been proven to be a very useful platform indeed. Again, not for long form blogging, but for short to-the-point announcements that can instantly reach a wide audience (and that can be grouped with related announcements and quickly searched for) - I think it's incredibly useful.
