Whew. Good news.
Reports circulated earlier this year that Twitter was exploring expanding its 140-character tweet limit. But according to CEO Jack Dorsey, that restraint is here for good.
“It’s staying,” Dorsey told NBC’s Today Show in an interview on Friday. ”It’s a good constraint for us, and it allows for of-the-moment brevity.”
Twitter did not respond to a request for comment. In January, there were reports that Twitter was considering expanding tweets to accommodate as many as 10,000 characters. At the time, many users took to Twitter to express concern and even outrage, arguing that removing the trademark 140-character limit would ruin the personality and design of the site.
