Why on earth would you post this as a series of tweets.. and then embed them in a tumblr post.. without any additional commentary..

100% this! I'm seeing more and more tweets that are entire pages of text in JPEG format. I can't really say it's a failed medium, because obviously Twitter has massive usage, but it doesn't really seem like progress.
Sadly, because tweetstorms are getting more and more popular. I think it gives people a superiority feeling ("aha, look at how much brilliance I can convey in so few characters!"), whereas the reader is just frustrated.
This article needs more words. A series of graphs alone that seem to contradict the title doesn't convey useful information.
