Facebook status character limit increases to over 60,000

Waving two fingers at the 140 character limit of Twitter, Facebook users can use such an amount to ramble before getting to the point, as the limit has been upped to "more than 60,000."

It was announced via a picture (above) that Facebook's Journalist manager Vadim Lavrusik uploaded to his wall, making the claim:

In September, we increased the character limit on status updates to 5,000 characters. Today, we're announcing that you can now write posts with more than 60,000 characters.

63,206 to be specific.
