It's artificial, 140 character limit suits his limited linguistic abilities. Short words, fractured grammar, incomplete sentences - all are useful when trying to limit the number of characters used. Some think that the limit distills the content and makes it more artful, like a Haiku. I think that crap in small chunks is still crap - I don't want to step on a pile of rabbit turds as much as I don't want to step on a cow patty. Retweeting, or posting tweets on DU acts as a duplication system. Steaming piles of crap served up on everyone's lawns, like having a dog that can shit in every yard in one's neighborhood.
