Explanation

Twitter originally limited tweets to 140 characters when launched in 2006, based on SMS limits. This constraint shaped microblogging culture and forced concise communication. In 2017, Twitter doubled the limit to 280 characters, but 140 remains the iconic original length associated with early Twitter.
