Microblogging website Twitter, known for its iconic 140-character tweets, rolled out 280-character tweets to users across the world.
Twitter in September ran a test on 280-character tweets that showed users spent less time editing their tweets.
User posting in languages including Japanese, Korean and Chinese, which do not face the issue of “cramming”, will continue to have a limit of 140 characters, Twitter said.
Users expressed their views on twitter using hashtag #280characters. Some users ask for the edit button.

Gah. Who has time to read all these 280 character tweets. My brain has a 140 character limit now.
