    The original posts were limited to SMS length because that was an interesting way to post.
    For awhile cellular data connections were expensive and very limited - so it freed people from thinking about the quality of their opinions vs the precious time and megabytes it might take to post it.
    You could just fire off a text from the toilet instead of having to think too deeply.
