Twitter Users React to Possible 140 Character Limit Removal…on Twitter

Duh! Where else would they go to react?

Ever since the rumours that Twitter will be extending the 140-character limit started floating around, Twitter users have been doing what they love to do: tweet and express their opinions.

Here are some of the reactions from around the little blue birdie’s nest:

Someone likes the idea

Totally cool with the 140 character limit going away! @jack

But Osarumen thinks it’s a bad idea

@twitter is slowly killing the quirks that gives it its appeal. Bad, bad idea to keep Facebook-ifying the service, in the $$$ chase.

#Save140

Dear Twitter,

We're here for a reason. You're burning the reason. 10000 characters won't make it look like twitter anymore. #SAVE140

The fun of twitter is the limited character stuff, reply anticipation & continuous short interaction. Increased character count is a No-No

Tough not to agree

10000 characters?! No Twitter. Just, no. Your beauty lies in brevity.

Good advice

@twitter kindly be advised that a total of 10000 characters will drive your users away and invite more Social media Marketing.

Can't believe a social media company wouldn't think to crowdsource a major change in its platform #10000characters

If I wanted to be able to use 10000 characters to write endless inane drivel I'd just go and use Facebook
