Twitter's 140 character limit on tweets has long frustrated and challenged its most verbose users. Now the company could offer a solution, according to tech news website re/code: the 10,000 character tweet, which could be available as soon as March.
Re/code reported Tuesday that Twitter has been studying how to allow users to say more, after restricting them to 140 characters for 10 years.
That limit was based on the capacity of the original messaging software used, and though frustrating for many, unleashed a tidal wave of ultra-concise commentary across the web. Now every day more than 300 million regular Twitter users send hundreds of millions of messages - news reports, personal updates, advertisements, political pitches, photos and videos and, most often, just witty and innocuous comments.
