Sounds really cool and reminds me of Jason Fried's writing class idea[1]. I think many people still view Twitter's brevity as stifling nuance instead of forcing users to really refine their ideas.
Wow. I love JF and, obviously, this idea as it's pretty much on the same basis. I'd love to send it to him as soon as it's done — if anyone can help me with this, I'd be more than grateful
Indeed, there are problems with Twitter, people take stuff out of context and like to be polarized. But just as you say, the first time I interacted with Twitter I loved the fact that I had to "distill" my idea.
Kinda like Vodka — you keep distilling alcohol until you purify it (or close to it). What you're saying about "refining the idea" made me think about this.
