I've been doing this for nearly 20 years now and so I know the benefits of immediacy. It's the lack of more thoughtful responses I'm thinking of.
And twitter is sort of a case in point, it's message size being restricted to text-message size.
Text messages were never expected to get popular, but people prefer them to the immediacy of having to answer the bloody phone right at this minute. More long-form posts or articles deserve more pondering before they're commented on.
