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.

Forget 10000 characters and just add edit button @twitter

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
