@stilkov @honzajavorek Won't work, it can change, disappear, needs to be commented, highlighted, cited. etc.

@stilkov @JeniT Ppl linking to sources is a fraction vs ppl screenshotting an SMS or whatever. Maybe Twitter could add some OCR magic.

@stilkov @JeniT While I generally agree, I do sometimes appreciate not having to navigate past paywall, pop-ups, and ads of source.

@stilkov @martinfowler And if you have anything longer than 140 chars top say, get a blog to post it on.

.@stilkov People indeed don’t click links – link clicks are consistently just 1% of my tweet impressions. Still, I’ll stick to my blog.

@stilkov good idea - as long as the source s mobile friendly, has no ad-blocker blocker and is useable with low bandwidth.

@stilkov @martinfowler I've stopped following people that used images of text instead of actual text.

@stilkov @martinfowler what's a couple of kilobytes compared to a couple of bytes?

@stilkov @martinfowler But that way it's impossible to present just the right portion with a fucking emphasis-by-selection.
