This is very interesting, but one thing from the announcements was very interesting to me - is it common for people to release press releases by screenshotting the notes on their phones?

It's common to tweet screenshots of notes to get around the 140 character limit on Twitter. This wasn't a press release.

Yes. Jack Dorsey did exactly the same when announcing the plan for removal of 140 character limit.

Strange choice, but I suppose he wanted to use twitter at all costs.
