Lots of people try, and not very many succeed, in turning the 140 character limit of a tweet into an art form.

An article from PC Magazine from 2011 suggests that we can become better writers if we follow certain tips for writing to Twitter, but "better" in this case doesn't seem to refer to being more interesting to read, or getting a point across in a novel manner.
