OTOH, it's more likely that tweets are being read than long boring text of wall blog posts.

One advantage of tweets is that you can link better to a specific part you want to. We still can't link to an arbitrary location in a HTML document if the author hasn't put down anchor links.

When a text is too long and boring, the solution is to make it short and interesting, not to post it on a platform that is designed to be so addictive that people can't resist reading it. But yes, being able to link to and highlight individual pieces is nice.

I guess this varies a lot depending on the person.

I find long but well written texts addictive, and Twitter anything but engaging.

I read one tweet, and may be three answers at most. And only because the tweet was linked from somewhere else.
