Woofer, an "homage to Twitter," requires 1400 characters rather than Twitter's 140 character maximum (they call it "Macroblogging"). Woofer looks a whole lot like Twitter, and it initially pulled Twitter users' profile pictures and attached them to Woofs. (It asks for your Twitter user name when you publish a Woof.) Apparently the avatar problem is being fixed, but it raises some questions about legality and security. At any rate, while the new medium is presumably meant to be liberating, most Woofs so far look to be even more nonsensical twaddle than your average Tweet, many being just short phrases copy-and-pasted enough times to achieve the character minimum and/or complete gibberish.

Randomly selected example that just so happens to name check the "PUALLIP FAIR!!":

Maybe 1400 characters is too much for our attention span to handle at this point.
