Twitter 280 CharactersKalingaTV News Network: The Twitter users may have a big relief soon, as the social networking site has decided to lift the 140-character restriction and allow users to tweet using 280 characters soon.

Twitter has already started testing the 280-character option with a special group of people. It was revealed on its blog page.

Twitter has admitted that the 140 character limit was based on the 160 character SMS limit, which works find on cell phones, but not on a micro-blogging/social networking site, where people want to express themselves or post opinion using more characters.
