2:10 Possible Twitter Changes - Megan Whelan
If Twitter was to drop - or at least extend - its 140 character limit, wouldn't that fundamentally change the nature of it, as a social medium? It's now being reported as a near-certainty in the Washington Post.

Radio New Zealand's social media editor, Megan Whelan, has been investigating.
