Twitter is planning to change its character limit and people are totally taking the piss

Just the casual 10,000 per tweet.

LAST NIGHT, A story broke that claimed Twitter was looking into removing its famous 140 character limit for its users.

And there is talk that they are considering moving it up to 10,000 characters:

This will have real life consequences

Whoops!

'It's just too long!' she gasped, 'I can't take it all in!'

If they bring in #Twitter10K and 10000 characters a tweet I’ll so be in awe of the first person to do that joke about running out of charact

An edit button might be a bit more useful

And, in theory, Alanis Morissette wouldn’t be all too happy with the situation

Alanis Morissette isn't happy about the potential change to Twitter, "It's 10,000 characters, when all you need is a 'like'..."
