Comment on Is Google+ a bigger threat to Twitter than it is to Facebook? by mike

I think it is an interesting point that the forced brevity of twitter makes it easier to follow lots of people. However, G+ could easily adapt a 'headline/article' format. Give the 'headline' area a couple hundred words maybe. Then, when following you would have the choice of following full or just headlines. The 'headlines' would have quick links to unfold the full post of course. Maybe also indicators if the post contains pics or other meta. So - essentially the 'headline' could be used unto itself like twitter or it could be used as an opening paragraph laying out the topic of the longer post.
