Going from blog posts and mailing lists to 140 character messages was a real change in communication. Going from 140 characters to 110, because a couple of people have long twitter IDs, is just being a pain in the ass. I already compressed the point of my message to 140 characters, why isn't that good enough?
Mm... Fair point. It just seems like another fundamental change to allow twitter messages to go to >5 people at a time. What would be the limit then? Ten people? A hundred?
Maybe limiting the number of people at all is a bad thing. Who knows.
But messing with their Formula That Works may be a bad thing.

You say that like it's a bad thing.
That's because it is.
