Man, 500 characters makes a huge difference. 500 is a paragraph, while 140 is a sentence.

You could write stories here, instead of strings of sound bites.

@pzmyers Someone else was floating that idea earlier.

@pzmyers Right? The potential is huge right meow. Still working on my masterpiece though.

@pzmyers Yeah, I like it. It's good to still have a limit, it still focuses your thoughts a bit, but turns out 140 maaaay not have been the optimal or most natural point to set it.

@pzmyers hopefully it promotes more rational discourse than seems to be possible in Twitter's model.

@pzmyers It was the one feature i wanted most in twitter. Especially because German sentences are on average longer than English ones.

@turi And truncating them meant losing the verbs.

@pzmyers I feel like I'm not being eloquent enough because I never get near the 500 limit
