If you want short form to reign, maybe have a good long look at what I'm doing right now (this comment). See what this is? I can get paid for this. But I certainly wouldn't expect a ten spot. This is where those folks you're looking for typically spend their time. Add a share button. Add the ability to write a shortform comment to go along with a reblog (change that to repost) with a comment section under that and you got your twitter.
