On Wednesday, Twitter announced via its blog that it would begin removing the 140 character limit from the social network's direct-messaging service, allowing users to send messages to one another without being limited to what they can say like they are when they Tweet.
It's no surprise, as Twitter has been talking about doing this for some time now, but just hasn't gotten around to doing it until now.
As Twitter notes, public Tweets will remain limited to 140 characters so that they stay short and sweet, because frankly, Twitter doesn't just want to be another Facebook.
All users will not see the feature immediately; it will be rolling out to Web, Android, iOS, and third-party applications in coming weeks, so you'll just have to keep your eyes out for it if you're a Twitter user and have been looking forward to this change.
