According to re/code, Twitter is thinking about modifying its 140 character limit to, oh I don’t know, TEN THOUSAND CHARACTERS.
Twitter is building a new feature that will allow users to tweet things longer than the traditional 140-character limit, and the company is targeting a launch date toward the end of Q1, according to multiple sources familiar with the company’s plans. Twitter is currently considering a 10,000 character limit, according to these sources. That’s the same character limit the company uses for its Direct Messages product, so it isn’t a complete surprise.
I am pretty sure I’ll hate and despise Twitter if they expanded the character limit to 10,000. Could you imagine all of the yappers, yapping away without limitation? It’s too much to bear, frankly. I’m going to need some aspirin powder after this blog to relieve me from the headache that I am now enduring, thanks to this rumor.
Oh, by the way, TWTR hit a new low today.
I think today might turn into a pretty nasty route possibly.
God willing
If they do, hopefully they’ll have a “click to expand” so the tweets are still organized and look the same…. it would be pretty insane to instantly have endless blog sized tweets popping up.
Maybe they’re trying to make longer content so they can sneak advertisements on people’s tweets or on side bars and below…..
In other words… more like facebook, since FB can actually make money…
They could do the first 140 characters free, then charge a penny per character. Let the yappers yap, at a price.
