Martin Beck says, “Direct messages on Twitter can now be much more long-winded. The company announced that starting today, it is dropping the 140-character limit for private messages within its network. The new limit is 10,000 characters.

Twitter said the change will begin rolling out today on twitter.com, the iOS and Android apps, TweetDeck and Twitter for Mac and will continue to roll out worldwide in the next few weeks. Direct Messages sent and received the old-school way via SMS will still be limited to 140 characters.

Here’s our original story from June when Twitter announced it would be making the change:
