Making Twitter Better With Separate Links, Photos, and Hashtags

The great thing about Twitter is the way the 140 character limit forces you to get to the point. Unfortunately, links, photos and hashtags take away some of that space.
If your Tweets include a link, your 140 character Tweet drops to about 117 characters. Add a photo and it drops another 22 characters so you've not got less than 100 characters... unless of course you add a hashtag or two. To make matters worse, if you add 2 or 3 hashtags, you've got about 80 or less characters left for your pearls of wisdom.
To me, an even bigger issue is the fact that those links and hashtags often make Twitter Feeds hard to read.
I think the solution is to keep the 140 character limit for all Tweets, then give people an area to add one link, one photo and perhaps up to 3 hashtags, which should be displayed on a line below the actual Tweet, so it looks cleaner.
