One of the reasons Twitter is popular in Japan is a characteristic of Japanese itself: Japanese uses ideograms which enable it to convey more information in just 140 characters than other languages, not counting Chinese.

推特在日本之所以这么火，跟日语的性质有关。虽然可能比不上中文，但是跟其他大多数语言相比日语的140字可以承载更多的内容。顺带很想知道，这段文章正好是140字日文，换成别的语言的话会是多少字呢？
