Twitter Isn't Raising the Character Limit. It's Becoming a Walled Garden.

What's really changing here, then, is not the length of the
tweet. It's where that link at the bottom takes you when you
click on it--or, rather, where it doesn't take you. Instead of
funneling traffic to blogs, news sites, and other sites around
the Web, the "read more" button will keep you playing in
Twitter's own garden.
