Was Twitter's move to drop the 140-character limit for direct messages a sign of things to come? Perhaps.

A new report from Re/Code, citing "multiple people familiar with the company's plans," says you may soon be able to post content longer than 140 characters on Twitter. But it doesn't sound like Dorsey and Co. are planning to ditch the 140-character tweet limit any time soon.

Twitter is working on a "new product" that will let you post tweets that surpass the current limit, Re/code said. "It's unclear what the product will look like, but sources say it would enable Twitter users to publish long-form content to the service," Kurt Wagner and Jason Del Rey reported.

As avid Twitter users know, Twitter has changed over the years, but the 140-character tweet limit has remained in place. People have often debated whether Twitter should allow longer tweets, but the company has not budged.

That debate recently resurfaced internally at Twitter "under interim CEO Jack Dorsey as the company has been exploring new ways to grow its user base," the report noted. Some execs are pushing for a more subtle change: to keep the limit as it is but stop counting things like links and user handles towards it.

For his part, "Dorsey is apparently supportive of a potential change, a bold stance and yet another sign that he isn't simply keeping the CEO seat warm until Twitter finds someone permanent," Re/Code reported.
