I'm baffled that you would think Twitter had the ability to be anything else. The site basically mandates that you compress all your messages into trivialize-able sound bites.
Not true. Twitter allows you to makes a brief introduction to a linked article. I use twitter almost exclusively to follow individuals I respect, so I can be aware of new things they have written (or that they recommend).

You're not disagreeing with me. You're just saying that Twitter's propensity to allow people to advertise themselves to you happened to work.
