I propose that an anti-Twitter approach might work to eliminate much of the problem. This is to force people to write. This means that instead of an upper bound in the number of characters, there should be a lower bound, MORE than some number of characters.

Of course, I guess I'm not part of this discussion, anyway, because I was born in 1977 -- so I am too old for GEN Y (1980+) and too young for GEN X (up to 1975).
