One of Steemit's competitors Twitter has been trying out tweets twice as long since the latest information. Twitter is probably getting queasy with a view of Steemit. The short message service wants to increase from 140 to 280 characters per message. I don't think it's gonna do any good. Steemit is unstoppable:) Moreover, the 140 characters have always been a central trademark of Twitter. Twitter should use smart media tokens based on blockchain:)
