Isn’t it the worst when you're trying to rant to a Twitter friend via DM, and that damn character limit keeps stunting your flow? The worst.

Ditto when you're sending really, really long sonnets to your Twitter crush and the limit means you have to send them in fragments like some kind of experimental poetry garbage.

For those with DM word vomit tendencies however, a solution is in sight. Twitter announced last night on its developer forum that the 140 character limit on DMs will be lifted, from July. GTFO!

Does this mean you can tweet massive essays? No. The Twitter news feed is all about witty one liners, #sosadtoday outpourings and, occasionally, news. And it’s staying that way. We don't need a limit in private messages, however. Well, we never did for MSN messenger, did we? (RIP)

This comes after news that users can choose to make their Direct Messages inbox open to a n y o n e, not just people they follow. Mine are open, by the way. Just saying.
