Stop Tweeting, Start "Woofing?"

Twitter isn't the new kid on the block anymore, now it has an arch nemesis that goes by the name of "Woofer."  Sexy, I know.  Woofer is another blogging client like Twitter, and there is no question as to whether Twitter was a factor in Woofer's immaculate conception.  If you go to Woofer's website, the interface looks almost exactly like Twitter's down to the ugly blue background, with the exception of a few things.  The mascot is a dog, and there is a minimum requirement of 1,400 characters per post.  Yes that's right, you are requred to write at least 1,400 characters.  In my opinion part of Twitter's appeal is the fact that it's a micro-blogging platform.  I just take a minute to type my thoughts, and I'm done.  Fourteen hundred characters seems more like a blog, and if that's what it's going for, what is the Woofer's appeal?  Developing better English apparently.  You are encouraged to "be eloquent, use adverbs, and don't ever abbreviate."  I can't say I'm against getting rid of the "wut r u doing" "nothin, im kool" conversations, but is this the future of blogging?  If I'm required to write at least 1,400 characters at any given moment, I hope not.
