(7,721 posts)A little extra text helps a lot, either in the title or the post.
Moreover, plain twitter links are hard for people in certain computer environments.

(7,286 posts)There are users who post nothing but link to tweets
I had noticed those users just about never reply in their own threads or any threads for that matter
They have zero interest in discussion

Some of the posts that have stirred the most conversation lately have been those based on tweets of an article in a paper (e.g., NYT) with a strong pay-wall as well as those expressing opinions on topical issues from renowned experts (e.g., constitutional scholars like Laurence Tribe). Those are very useful, IMO.
