Twitter wants you to wax poetic.</p><p>
The micro-blogging site now lets you send private direct messages that are way longer than the typical 140 characters. Twitter has finally expanded the DM limit (https://blog.twitter.com/2015/removing-the-140-character-limit-from-direct-messages) to a whopping 10,000 characters. Public tweets, however, remain limited to 140 characters.</p><p>
The expansion of DM character limits began rolling out on Wednesday across Twitter’s iOS and Android apps, as well as on the web, Tweetdeck, and Twitter for Mac.
