I came a bit too late to the party. While I get the 140char limit, and they should stick with that, having something like a 10k limit that was only shown when the tweet is expanded, is, in my perspective, essential [for someone that comes from FB the 140 char limit is ludicrous bad UX]. I get that longer formats should go on something like medium, but asking people to change websites to do that is ludicrous. It's putting the barrier too high for the input of content. I know that the shareholders of Twitter that also are medium's wouldn't be happy with the lifting of that limit, yet, for those read on: Regardless of feasibility (as they are two distinct companies) more than 140characters would transform itself on a medium post and commentaries and highlights could become tweets. That's one of the two suggestions that I think would help twitter improve a lot. Enough of texts as image and other crappy UX
