    According to re/code, Twitter is now considering increasing the character limit in public tweets, as stated by individuals familiar with company plans. Sources have stated that interim CEO Jack Dorsey has once again revisited the possibility of an alteration after large numbers of users have contacted the company irritated by the tight restrictions currently imposed...

    Would the character limit still apply to people that send text to & from cell phones? Wasn't this the reason for 140 limit to begin with? I think 420 would be enough but that just my opinion.

    140 characters made it unique though. I wouldn't mind it going up to maybe 180 characters but anymore makes Twitter lose its charm. And I read something about a Like button? I think Retweets and Favorites make up for no Like button.
