[QML]

The 140 characters make sense — if you do textual analysis, the average sentence turns out to be around that number of characters.

The issue is that Twitter is seen as a medium of expression, but I don’t think it’s suppose to be a platform where people go in-depth with their thoughts; more for momentarily formed opinions, ideas, or announcements.

For publishment, people should be using something like Medium.

Every new medium of communication effects the substance of that communication. I doubt they can change the 140 character limit without changing the substance of conversation, but that may be the point.
