Twitter beyond 140

The 140-character limit has been one of Twitter’s trademark features since day one.

According to several media reports, Twitter is building a product to allow users to share tweets that are longer than 140-characters.

‘140 plus’

The Wall Street Journal reported that Twitter is still debating whether to build a new “rich publishing platform” to allow the longer content, or whether it should extend the tweet limit by additional characters.

Extra 47 characters?

Shortened links (23 characters) + images (24 characters) = 47
