Twitter is building a new product that will allow users to share tweets that are longer than the company’s 140-character limit, according to multiple people familiar with the company’s plans.

I think this is a good idea to raise the limit of 140 characters to a higher number of characters like 280 characters. But ,make sure the limit is not too many characters long where people post many sentences, paragraphs, rants, and short stories to Twitter.
 
So when they mean a new product, like a higher tier twitter account (as in pay to use) or a whole different website?
 
I think most likely it will be a premium account where you have to pay to tweet more than 140 characters, or you have to pay a few extra dollars to go over the 140 character limit.
 
I also won't pay to increase my character limit. I think, mostly, celebrities and wannabe celebrities will pay to increase the text limit on Twitter, so their followers can read more about them instead of the standard 140 characters per tweet.

I bet, Twitter may also come up with a premium account where Celebrities, and News websites tweet very long posts, but their fans have to pay a few dollars to read the entire tweet sort of like some eBook and news sites where you need to pay for a paid account to read the entire article.
