Personally, I'm not in favor of that. I have no desire to see the floodgates of Hive inundated with such content and behaviors, only to be monetized.
Hahaha, well just wait a little longer. The trend in adopting and establishing short and meaningless content in Hive has already started to grow like wildfire. 
You mean threads...
Yeah mainly LeoThreads, the new LeoInfra initiative and some other loose nuts & bolts from the original ProjectBlank idea. But also 3SpeakShorts, Waves, Threadcast, Dbuzz, Hive5 and some other Micro-blogging projects fluttering out there.
