140 characters are enough?

TweetDeck, the Twitter client now has a feature that allows you to write about the service also deck.ly messages longer than 140 characters. That is if nothing special, but because creating and dereferencing the news TweetDeck in automatically in the background, the service raises quite pleasant on competitor ... TweetDeck-at least for users like me.

All Others see a tweet that is only with the first signs and a link to the rest, read what the timeline makes it very inconvenient if the proportion shortened Tweets takes over. Who uses these services to excessively may not be surprised if he / she loses a lot of followers.

Nevertheless I would Rejoice when Twitter would offer an official solution to circumvent the 140-character limit. This solution would have a good chance to work client-cross.

The question remains whether such a service would be accepted by Twitter users at all. When (non-representative) discussion this morning outweighed the negative voices that want to hold on to the 140 character limit.

I also personally think that Twitter with unlimited Tweetlänge would not work because the service would then suffocate in Monster Tweets without the letter.

However, I think that Twitter could benefit from an increase in the limit entirely. The 140-character limitation is considered technically stem from the fact that a tweet should fit together with some metadata in a text of 160 characters.

In the age of smart phones with specially focused on Twitter Apps I find this feature dispensable, particularly since SMS can now be longer than 160 characters and is an alternative to MMS for even longer texts. Cost should not be an argument, because if the Twitter user a text manually on several tweets (and SMS) distributed or splits, the system only for the few long Tweets SMS users automatically makes the SMS costs no difference. Without SMS-Flat is likely the use of Twitter via SMS rather pointless anyway be.

contrast, suggest a moderate increase in the following points:

1. It is possible to sometimes can verbalize a more complex idea of what would certainly be conducive to the general level. Where extreme oversimplification of complex relationships can lead, can be read every morning in the tabloid or look in the "science magazines" of some private broadcasters.
   
   
2. The names of recipients and hashtags (keywords for categorizing tweets) go on the 140 characters, so is the real message even less space available. Without tags, you can but no tweets on specific topics let's selective. What use is the best tweet when it is barely read?
   
   
3. Some stylistic devices such as irony and sarcasm require the use of certain words and die as soon as you have always expressed to the shortest possible way. I am sorry because I think dry humor via Twitter is not often get transported, while Twitter is supposed to be a very subjective, individual medium.
   
   
4. The time-trim with a deal to spend a text to 140 characters, you could put in more useful things.
   
   
5. In several tweets split retweet content can hardly be (quote) without the context and the meaning is lost.
   

Before the "traditionalists" now sharpen the knives, I want to stress again that I thought the core of Twitter ("Keep it short!") Does not want to upset. I just think that Twitter in its current form still gives away much of his potential.

a limit in the status text limit on Facebook, I would find useful. That should be somewhere around 420 characters.

Unfortunately Facebook is not a substitute for Twitter, as both services have completely different target groups: Facebook is more for the networking of people you already know, while Twitter is rather an ad hoc network where You can even have his master-follower, characterized by the hashtags and continually re-tweets and also dynamically regroup, such as when a TV program is watched together. makes

Twitter makes it easy to expand his own horizons and acquaintances, so it should in my opinion, Twitter return back to the old practice, see also mentions to people you do not follow themselves.

this in mind: What do you think about the 140-character limit, how and for what uses her Facebook and Twitter?
