Twitter says: your tweets could be longer than 140 characters soon

Recode reported this week that Twitter was tinkering around with the idea of expanding its 140 character limit to a number a bit higher….10,000 characters.

So will it change the fundamental fabric of Twitter’s “micro-blogging” nature and ruin what’s been to know a beautiful product?

We don’t think so, it’s a natural progression that was always bound to happen, but only time will tell.
