Robert Scoble and Dave Winer are asking for a “Twitter Pro” that they could pay $10 a month for to remove the 140 character limit.
Nathaniel says:
What do you call Twitter without the character limit?
A blog.
Actually, I call it Pownce and it’s better than Twitter in almost every way, save for adoption. It’s a serious threat to Twitter with it’s slick design, extra features and lack of a character limit. It’s getting more and more forum like, not blog like. With the ability to reply and reply to replies, threading, community (friends, etc.) it’s more like a forum than a blog. And Pownce has all that in spaded. The only thing Twitter has that Pownce doesn’t is more users and the SMS feature, which still has a character limit anyway making the $10 to remove the limit a moot point.

I concurr. Twitter does have two ways though to bypass the limit. One is copy-pasting yout message and other is sending it through gtalk unabridged. Of course it will only show fully in that particular status.
Brevity is the soul of wit and Twitter’s too. Going beyond it would be missing the whole point. And noone really needs much more for what are they doing?
