I disagree with 7(longer tweets).

The 140 character limit is what Twitter is most known for, and sets it apart from a typical social network. It's something like a body-mark of Twitter. It should stay.

There are other things that set it apart from a "typical social network"; for instance, the fact that it's floundering as a commercial enterprise.

Something has to change, and that something will necessarily not be held in common with Facebook.
