10,000 character tweets? They might be on the horizon.



10,000 characters is also known as blogging, but, hey.

Twitter realizes that not everyone has jumped on their bandwagon, much to investors' concerns, so they're looking to branch out.

Twitter's co-founder and current CEO Jack Dorsey has been heading up a project to see how exactly to expand the social media giant's presence, mainly by expanding how much a user can write. Gone would be 140 character limits (although that limit would still remain in your status feed), and users could start writing longer rants during their Twitter beefs without people needing a Rosetta Stone to decipher what most of it meant.

The move is to make Twitter more appealing to the masses. As a result, Dorsey is reportedly mulling the 10,000 character per post mark, but also "only" 5,000. No final decision has been made.

In case you're wondering, this entire blog post you just read? It's 899 characters long.
