Maybe I have just having a shitty day, but it is really sad to see people spending time solving silly human imposed problems.
This not solving a real problem. This problem was entirely invented by twitter and is slowly being degraded in a horrible, suboptimal way. Maybe I have just having a shitty day, but it is really sad to see people spending time solving silly human imposed problems.

One difference with Squall is that, while the post is an image on Twitter, it lives on as a text post on Squall.io. So you can always follow the link and parse the text there. Also the images are highly legible. Check out this Squall for example: https://twitter.com/bshyong/status/573557768285732864
aren't you going to have issues like this in the twitter stream, where the top and bottom of the image is lost: http://i.imgur.com/6jfKcFW.png

I saw a similar application here on HN one of the valid points against this is that you cannot really parse the text through the image, so it becomes a barrier against visually impaired users. At first I was thinking it was going to be links to a bigger tweet or something similar.
I'm not up on the state of screen readers, do any of them look at the EXIF data? I don't think that would be a good solution and am not sure how big a comment can be, but I could be wrong.
We would also have to check whether Twitter preserves this data when it's uploaded with a tweet.

What do you suggest they should have built instead?

Nothing. Just use any already existing blog platform. No one says you have to make new blog posts all the time. Just post when you have something valuable to say.
