If I could 'spend' my entire 140 characters on a comment I had on a blog post, and then include the “reading:http://url.com” meta tag for example, I think it would be much more powerful.

But, as you mentioned on Twitter, it's not likely that Twitter will implement anything like this soon.

If you want to be sure someone gets a message (and you don't know their reading habits) txt/dm them or something. @ is good for unambiguous mentions of names, and easy replying (which can be invisibly turned into data, but typing the @ is still a nice UI) I don't think this in broken – but by design.
