I’ll read long posts in either format, but the fragmented format of chained microblog posts, or threads, is mildly distracting at times.

  • A few short chainposts can be screen-shot and make it onto other (granted, often even worse)platforms like so. Facebook and Twitter are both better at showing a collection of pictures, likely readable without even clicking, than they are at showing or previewing long-form content.

    That’s even without accounting for pic-centric platforms like Instagram or Tumblr…
