Hacker News Reader

yes to both, imho. Neither are 'news worthy' if the link it's too is news worthy then that link should be posted not the link to the twitter.

I come here for new and articles on running a business, technology, and to help others.

clicking through to a 1 sentence twitter from my rss readers is not a good use of my time.

I can see the place for something like twitter but I don't think that place is something like hacker news.

I come here for comments and things people find interesting and worth talking about. 'news worthy' is only a subset of that. There's lots of other places to find news online.

Short items can be worth talking about. Comments are usually shorter than the posts they comment on, and I frequently find comments that are more interesting than their parents.

I like the commentary sometimes. But I can't imagine having much to say about a 1 liner.

to each their own however.
