We didn't make the message less noisy to fit into 140 chars, we just removed most of the substance to make it fit.
However Zuckerberg could not allow his lusers to rank content, so they added som opaque algorithm to serve whatever they wanted us to see instead.
I have not used Twitter to any extent, but have they done something similar?
