In my opinion it carries much truth. Somewhere in Google's archives there is a message I sent to the OC that said, "The department of philosophy does not ship solutions to real problems, that is why there has never been a successful company that insisted the world adapt to its philosophy."

"I think he wants to govern Britain."

"Well stop him, Bernard!"

140 characters was likely more efficient, in terms of forcing people to focus their thoughts.

But it was unpopular, in that people don't like mental effort.
