Twitter might be doing away with its 140-character limit

By Louie Baur1 min readGoogle News

Instagram limited itself to using square pictures, Snapchat limited itself to sending disappearing messages, and Twitter limited itself to supporting 140-character or less posts. These limitations are the quirks that made these social networks what they are today, but now that the three of them have attained hundreds of millions of users, it’s time to remove these limitations/quirks and give users more freedom with their content. Instagram is doing it, Snapchat is doing it, and now it looks like Twitter is doing it too, as some recent reports claim that the company is working on a new product that would allow users to share tweets that are longer than 140 characters.
