How to lengthen your twitter characters?

Now “small group” of users are no longer restricted by Twitter’s 140-characters limit.
“Can’t fit your Tweet into 140 characters?” Twitter said. “We’re trying something new with a small group, and increasing the character limit to 280! Excited about the possibilities?”
Even if you’re not a chosen one, you can double your limit to 280 characters on desktop by downloading the Tampermonkey plugin, going to here, clicking Raw and then install.

"When I tweet in English, I quickly run into the 140 character limit and have to edit my Tweet down so it fits. Sometimes, I have to remove a word that conveys an important meaning or emotion, or I don’t send my Tweet at all,"Aliza Rosen, Product Manager at Twitter, writes at blog. "But when Iku tweets in Japanese, he doesn’t have the same problem. He finishes sharing his thought and still has room to spare. This is because in languages like Japanese, Korean, and Chinese you can convey about double the amount of information in one character as you can in many other languages, like English, Spanish, Portuguese, or French."
