twitter and Youtube meet the publishing world...!

I just joined twitter. I think it would be most amusing for publishers to figure out how to serialize a journal into tweets....and then link to YouTube:
"Found new species in Central America."
"Might be prehistoric."
"Might be a mutation due to global warming."
"Scientists unsure, but captured photos."
"Please see YouTube video for details."
"Click here for "live" tweets....!"

Just kidding. I do not want to encourage the publishers to create any MORE formats!

Can you imaging trying to read a National Geographic or Reader's Digest article in 140 character blurbs?!? And trying to archive or keep track of such a thing? How would library staff even try to keep track of such a thing....?
