#2Interesting, will be interesting how they are received and utilised. Whilst they don't allow reshares, it is common for people to screenshot a tweet and share that screenshot - this won't prevent that and wonder how Twitter will police that.
Also wonder if they will allow customisable expiration (up to a point), say 36 hours etc. Or allow shorter duration posts, say an hour for spot promotions - which would be a great use for this.

#3This sounds almost like they're trying to replicate "Stories" from other social networks.
- Shows up at the top of one's feed, more prominent.
- Expires after a certain time.

Snapchat has all these problems and people still enjoy the ephemeral nature of them.

You cannot prevent that and it cannot be policed.

I concur about preventing, though T&C's could enable policing. Also a nice (c) notice would enable self-policing upon such infractions to some extent.
But certainly it will not be a fluid process currently. Let's see if they update T&C's to accommodate that aspect.

Well that is the first line of the article... But yes, I wonder how it will fit into the Twitter ecosystem. The two most successful implementations of this are Snapchat and Instagram: Snapchat was only a communication platform before stories, and Instagram profiles tend to be very deliberate and curated. Neither of these really apply to Twitter.

T&Cs stop at Twitter's border.

#9what I would to see from twitter is something for "blog" tweets - a "single" tweet spread across 3-30 individual tweets. the structure of individual tweets makes them terribly hard to read, but I feel like I've seen enough of them to say it's something in their interest to support

The advantage is that the tweet still doesn't show up in search.
