Trolls are going to be unbearable: Twitter to allow 10,000 characters?

Twitter Inc is building a new feature that will allow users post messages as long as 10,000 characters, Re/code reported on Tuesday. The micro-blogging website, which currently has a 140-character limit, is considering launching the service toward the end of the first quarter but has not set an official date, Re/code reported, citing sources familiar with the plans.
The company, in an attempt to keep a similar look for the timeline, is testing a version of the product which displays 140-character long tweets but expands to reveal more content when clicked on, the technology news website said. 

Twitter has been experimenting under Jack Dorsey - the company's co-founder who returned as chief executive in October - to make the website more engaging. In the few months under Dorsey, Twitter introduced the 'Moments' feature, added polls to tweets, rolled out a "buy" button and replaced its star-shaped "favorite" icon with a heart-shaped icon called "like". 

However, some users took to Twitter to express their dissent to the new feature with the hashtag #beyond140. "Just say no to #beyond140!," Andrew Wright tweeted. Re/code reported in September that the new feature was in the works. Twitter declined to comment.

Twitter is raising character limit to 10000 per tweet so that it can collate all the jokes on 10000 character limit in a single tweet

Still, if Twitter does introduce the 10000-character limit I will be able to tell you that Fidel Castro walks into a bar joke.

If we talk for 10,000 characters, we will all out ourselves as the ridiculous and ignorant tools we are, and that's Facebook's job.

10,000 chars allowed for a tweet? Finally I will be able to write 'Please' as 'Please' and 'about' as 'about'

Someone create an online petition against the 10,000 char limit for tweets so we can all sign it.
