Twitter may ditch 140-character limit

Twitter is apparently working on a way to give users more freedom; users may soon be able to express themselves in more than 140 characters.

Twitter may ditch 140-character limit

Citing “People familiar” with Twitter’s plans, Recode says that a new product will allow users to post “long-form content to the service.” It’s unclear if this will act as a completely new service or if Twitter will just be tweaked to let users write at length.

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that co-founder Jack Dorsey is pushing a project that is internally referred to as “140 Plus.” This involves looking at the different ways in which Twitter could expand the 140-character limit. But again, the specifics are unclear.
