Twitter considering 10,000 characters limit

Twitter could be considering increasing its character limit to 10,000 from the current 140. Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey, who has been pushing the company to make the service more engaging, confirmed that Twitter is looking at new ways to display text, while adding that he expects most tweets to remain “short and sweet and conversational.” He added that the company will conduct experiments based on what people are currently doing on the site now. Last month, Twitter began testing a new order that shows users the most relevant tweets first, instead of the usual format of displaying posts in reverse chronological order. Sarah Frier / Bloomberg
