We don't need 140 characters. They could solve this a dozen other ways including:
* Not counting links as characters.
* Not including images as characters.
* Improving tweet-storm capabilities.
* Improve threading + response mechanisms.
This is the easiest + worst improvement they could do. I hope it's not permanent.
- factsaresacred 9y ago* Improving tweet-storm capabilities. That's what they just did. * Not counting links as characters. Oh, think of the spam.

- ebola1717 9y ago* Links are 20 characters, flat (could be less, but users would spam 100+ links). * Images aren't counted (unless they come from links). * @handles were moved out of the text for replies. * Threads have improved a lot over the past year. * Thread composer is apparently on it's way.
