Just joined, so sorry if this is a recurring subject. I couldn't find anything about it in the archives, so I'll just take my chances.
Probably a good place to look first is the bug-tracking system:

Why? Because it makes you think through what you're saying? I think it's great to have _some_ limit, and so do most mublog users. Give it some time; it's one of the things many microbloggers like about the medium.I am getting really annoyed by the 140 characters limit for notices,
so I just wanted to ask if anybody has made any patches to make this configurable in such a way that I can increase the number of characters I am able to post.You should probably know more about the system. If you think the problem is in actions/postnotice.php, then you're probably going to shoot yourself pretty badly in the foot.I looked at postnotice.php and it seems straightforward to do the change.
Is there any special reason why this has not been implemented.
When it comes up on identi.ca, users hate the idea.
The OMB spec says that 140 is recommended, but there is no maximum to the number of characters - so shouldn't it be configurable (and default to something like 1000 characters or a multipla of 140)?Laconica right now will bounce messages > 140 chars. So, if you config this, you're going to cut yourself out of the OMB network.
That said, I think it's a good idea to have it be a configurable value. If a server receives a message longer than its own limit it could truncate, or just store the value.
The default will probably stay at 140 for the foreseeable future. -Evan
