How To Write Tweets Longer Than 140 Characters Ever had a bit more to say but hit the 140 character limit on Twitter? Spent a few minutes trimming your tweet down to acceptable levels? Me too. While there’s still not an official way to write more than 140 characters (nor will there ever be, really), there is a little hack you should know about.

How Tall Tweets Works Tall Tweets is a simple tool that turns your long tweet into an image. There is another option to ‘Tweet As Text’ where the service will chop up your lengthy text and then tweet it out piece-by-piece.

So who tweets? Why? What are they talking about?
