I've never seen an interesting point that could be made in 140 characters or less. That limit works for jokes, headlines, and almost nothing else.

Single-tweet "wisdom" always turns out to be something so broad/unqualified that it's uninteresting or untrue. VC Twitter is basically a deluge of that kind of faux-profound nonsense.
