I have seen many people (including the creators) talk in hand-wavy terms about how the restricted size of Twitter messages forces people to consider the economy of communication before they post. I disagree. It doesn't force more efficient communication, it forces the bulk of people to use more abbreviations and invent esoteric words. Forcing people to invent words and rely on acronyms to communicate does not imply more efficient communication, it implies an overly restrictive format and framework.
