The days of condensing our thoughts into 140-character phrases on Twitter are gone -- over direct message, at least. Twitter just announced that DMs can now span up to 10,000 characters.
"While Twitter is largely a public experience, Direct Messages let you have private conversations about the memes, news, movements, and events that unfold on Twitter," a blog post on Twitter's website explains. But let's get real: ladies, your inboxes will probably look more like this. What fresh hell is this, indeed. On the bright side, guilt-tripping trolls will now leave your phones buzzing every ten seconds or so instead of every two.
Do we even need email anymore?
