Twitter to allow users exceed 140 characters

Twitter is finally waking up to the idea that some things just cannot be summed up in 140 characters.

The micro-blogging website operator is working on a new product to allow users share tweets longer than 140 characters, technology website Re/code reported.

The company’s executives are also discussing changes to how the character limit is measured, such as excluding links and user handles from the count, the website reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
