Yeah, thank God they didn't force that crap onto me, yet. If they'll do I have to switch clients -.-
What difference would the client make? The feed comes from the API, even in the official client [1]. [1] Few years ago I'm sure it was like that, they might've changed to a private API since.
I feel like this could work out quite well, so long as they preserve the spirit of Twitter's original 140 char limit. That could be handled as simply as: The first 140 characters are shown (just like they are today), but there's a "see more" button/icon/etc. that expands the tweet to longer form. That would seem to solve both issues -- short-and-sweet for those that want it, and longer as necessary. (Note this idea h…
The problem isn't character limit. The problem is missing interesting Tweets. My timeline is flooded with new tweets. Better flagging to read later, algorithms that say you might find this most interesting, filtering would be welcome and are needed.

Can you expand on that? Do the tweets contain links, or do they just pack enough meaning into 140 characters that you'd like to think about it for some time before replying?
Personally, I think that anything that needs to be bookmarked later like that belongs in an RSS feed.
Twitter could charge 1¢ for each character over 140. That will encourage people to (still) be concise, but also monetize people (or companies) that want to say more.

Recently I wanted to follow a well known Java Evangelist, but their Java tweets were mixed with lots of politics tweets. Even though I agreed with the politics, I only wanted to read the Java related stuff - but it was like drinking from a firehose so I gave up.
And also being able to disable retweets for Lists would be nice too.

The length of your entire message: 285 chars Length of " You can't express complex thought without multi-tweeting ": 56 chars (took " literally " out, because that's incorrect).
"Literally" is not incorrect. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally "Literally" can mean "virtually," or "figuratively."

The last point also touches on an issue I have with the Twitter Android client: there's no way to refresh a tweet to see new replies. Even if I go back to my timeline and tap on the tweet again, it'll just show whatever it has in the local cache. Normally that's good behavior, but a pull-to-refresh (an action patented by Twitter, no less) would be absolutely ideal.
