This is stupid, it will just lead to low quality blogs with one-sentence posts. If you want to tell the world where you're eating, use Twitter. If you want to blog, write something useful people will actually care about.
No, it's a stupid idea. Your "blog" ceases to be a blog if its just a bunch of your lame 140-character Twitter blurts. See boris4ka's comment below, for the obvious.
If twitter allowed 500 - 800 character messages it'd be worse. There'd still be a size limit but you couldn't fit it into a text message, so you've taken away the really good thing about twitter - that it fits into the SMS spec so you can very easily send it to non internet mobile devices etc and still imposed a length limit (which is the bad thing about Twitter). I think it'd be wrong to just think of a number and make that the size limit, at least the reason behind 140 is it's what you can fit in an 8 bit text message.
It kind of makes sens to bring them as close together as possible. Most bloggers are already using WP.com as support blogs for their main self-hosted WP blog. Twitter is the quickest, most pain free way to update and interact, so a minor detail would be putting in the API ready made. What is all the fuss about?I have been doing this natively at my blog for almost a year. If you go to <a class="user" href="http://www.crunchplay.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.crunchplay.com/</a> you can see quality tweet/posts of many different types. It isn't hard to incorperate a link full of info or a custom download with your tweet or even drive a solid message in just 140 chararcters.
