Twitter is changing its character count from 140 to TEN THOUSAND

by

As much as we complain about not being able to get our point across in 140 characters, 10,000 characters is a tad bit excessive.

But in a report from Re/Code yesterday, Twitter Inc is in talks about expanding the original limit. 

The social networking site may launch the service early this year and sources say that it may change its character count even before the official product is unveiled. 

Jack Dorsey, Twitter's co-founder, said that the company has seen more and more people sharing screenshots of texts as a way to get around the limited character count. 

"We're not going to be shy about building more utility and power into Twitter for people. As long as it's consistent with what people want to do, we're going to explore it." 

But some users aren't exactly happy about the expanded limit, and even made a hashtag, #beyond140. "Just say no to #beyond140," users commented.
