It's interesting how different people's opinions can be. 140 character limits, extreme prioritization of newest content and large scale bot participation are not what I'd look for in a "model civic communications platform", but conversely I can see its virtues from an advertiser perspective: the non-ad content is for the most part qualitatively indistinguishable from the ads and much of the user base actively wants to follow brands.
