Facebook is different. I suppose there might be a limit on the number of words you can post in one update but I haven't had that issue yet with sending highlights and notes from the Kindle.
Here is a snapshot from Facebook for reference attached:

True, on Twitter you only have 140 characters per message. But it wouldn't be hard for Amazon to make it so that the as much as a possible of the quote is seen then followed by a short link (bit.ly, tinyurl, etc). They would know how long the link is (~25 characters) and could then adjust the quote. Not hard to do.
And I'd rather see my tweets like:
"It was the best of time, it was the worst of... www.shortlink.com/whatever"
That creates an interest. A link that says Amazon looks like advertisement...
