twttr's first post

I've just noticed that somebody called Jack has said the following on twttr

Honestly what on earth is this all about?

The ability to craft messages of any length on this platform seems to be very limited ....

and so it's utility will be minimal in terms of its ability to inform on breaking news

mark my words - nothing will come of it ... 

and the chances of me being wrong on this 

are as distant as Donald Trump being the Republicans choice for the Presidential race
