Everything is relative. Twitter is expected to significantly relax its historic 140-character limit soon. This will still be set at 140 characters, and in these 140 characters, links to web pages (hyperlinks) and fragments of photo text will no longer be included (they "eat up" 23 and 24 characters, respectively, which is a sixth of the space), which means that we will you can be much more eloquent in your tweets afterwards!
Twitter is preparing for a historic change. After being CEO in January Jack Dorsey threw a bone about the character limit and its meaning, because people are extremely resourceful when it comes to posting longer messages - this includes posts "in a burst" (quick succession of posts), which tell a longer story or photos with longer passages of text - now Twitter is "stepping on the toes" of inventors.
Limitation 140 characters for now, otherwise, it will not fall, probably because Twitter would lose part of its personality that distinguishes it from other communication platforms (this has existed since the beginning of Twitter in 2006, when we were still following Twitter via SMS messages and smartphones were still in their infancy). They opted for a soft and painless transition rather than a direct jump to 10 thousand characters, as Dorsey joked a while back.

Twitterers should already get more room for maneuver June 2016, and the partial restriction is expected to fall simultaneously worldwide.
