You see this now, whole paragraphs of a noteworthy book punctuating a timeline, people taking screenshots of text, or otherwise cluttering up my Twitter with textual soundbites in the guise of a JPEG
a.) These are not very accessible
b.) I am too lazy to transcribe / OCR these
c.) It defeats the purpose of Twitter
d.) It would be far more handy to have big text blobs like this in a Tweet's JSON schema Something like
{ textBlob: '...book quotes galore...'}
b.) Images as text are a huge waste of resources. A lot of bandwidth could be saved by persuading tweeps to use a text-blob instead of an image (Free bandwidth people, that's what we all want is it not?!)
