Twitter to increase tweet size from 140 to 10,000 characters

Yeah, you read right, 10,000. I don't know what they are thinking but one thing i know for sure is that it can't be called a "tweet" again maybe it should be called an "epistle". They could have settle for 180 or 200 characters, at least the fun would still be there. I am sure they have a reason for wanting to increase the character this much, they are still yet to release an official statement.
