Twitter's well known 140-character limit may soon be a thing of past if a new report is to be believed.
According to Re/code and its sources, Twitter is in the midst of creating a new product that will allow users to publish tweets that exceed the aforementioned limit. What form the product will take, how it will work, and when it will be introduced are all unknown, but talk of the social media platform's limitations has recently become a hot topic at the company, which includes discussions about removing links and usernames from the character count.
This wouldn't be the first time changes have been made to Twitter's character limits. Back in August, it increased the limit for Direct Messages from 140 to 10,000, saying the expansion made DMs "even more powerful and fun," while nothing that regular tweets would be unaffected.
There are currently other ways to create and share longer tweets, such as TwitLonger and OneShot, but nothing that's come directly from Twitter. Current CEO Jack Dorsey may think it's time to change that.
