Last September, Twitter announced that they were looking at increasing the character limit of tweets from 140 to 280 for languages where cramming was an issue and that a few users were already testing it out. The company also confirmed that users were able to tweet easier and more often, especially for those who needed more than 140 characters, due to the added limit. According to Twitter's data, 9% of tweets in English reach the 140 character limit which often resulted in users spending a lot of time editing and shortening it or even just completely abandoning it. Twitter is also assuring it's users that timelines will not be clogged with 280 character tweets as during testing only 5% of the tweets went over 140 characters and only 2% went over 190. If you're one of those who will hate to have that widely-rumored 10,000 character tweets, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has dispelled all of those and said that they'll be sticking with the 140-character tweets the microblogging site has been known for.
