Have you seen Twitter accounts with bios longer than 160 characters? I got followed by a Twitter account for Vapiano Boston and was surprised to see that they had a bio much longer than the typical limit of 160 characters. I saw this a couple weeks ago and didn’t think about it past noticing it. This time I wanted to figure out what they were doing. It doesn’t seem like anyone else has noticed though, because while I found a blog post on the topic yesterday (which for some reason I can’t find today), I couldn’t find anyone else talking about it. The post I found suggested these longer bios might be for premium accounts, but does a chain restaurant seem like the type of account Twitter would beta this with?

Anyone know anything about this?
