The days of crafting a perfect 140-character tweet might soon be a thing of the past.
Twitter co-founder Biz Stone tweeted on Tuesday afternoon the company is looking to double its message limit to 280 characters.
“Also, we realize that 140 isn’t fair — there are differences between languages,” Stone said. “We’re testing the limits. Hello 280!”
Originally, our constraint was 160 (limit of a text) minus username. But we noticed @biz got 1 more than @jack. For fairness, we chose 140. Now texts are unlimited. Also, we realize that 140 isn't fair—there are differences between languages.
