Why I discuss things on Twitter rather than LJ

Because on LJ, you have to work on comments for hours in order to anticipate comment snark, a painful and largely pointless process. On Twitter, any comment snark can be answered with "I only had 140 chars!".

Unfortunately, long Twitter discussions drive people crazy.

Is there a solution?
