The Chinese microblogging service is raising its posting limit to 2,000 characters
China’s Twitter, Weibo, has beat the original to the punch in raising its 140-character posting limit, reports the Wall Street Journal. The news of the new limit, which is 2,000 characters, first started making the rounds on Weibo after the company sent out a letter to developers announcing the increase. The announcement of Weibo’s impending character limit increase comes just weeks after Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced that Twitter may be expanding its 140-character limit to 10,000 characters per post.
