In the short-term I guess it would make it more familiar and easier to switch, but I agree that I'm more excited about what can potentially be.

Potentially we will just copy everything new Twitter launches. What are we doing to build something new?
I guess twitter is so successful because it is built the way it is. Copying it for now makes sense. From there improvement can happen. I already like the lack of character counting which makes it much easier to get more nuanced opinions across. Twitter has also increased but only for the people who pay!
