My name is Erik Martin and I am a freelance writer for EContent Magazine (www.econtentmag.com). I am seeking to interview electronic publishing/content analysts, digital publishers/marketers, and other experts for the following story topic on a tight deadline:

THE BIG TWEET HEAT: HOW TWITTER’S IMPENDING DECISION TO EXPAND ITS CHARACTER LIMIT MAX TO 10,000 WILL IMPACT DIGITAL PUBLISHERS/CONTENT PROVIDERS /MARKETERS. Below is a list of questions I’m seeking answers to for this story. I prefer to conduct an email interview (whereby you send me written answers to my questions below that I can use as quotes in my story, which is often easier and ensures no accidental misquoting). My deadline is noon central, Wednesday, January 13. Please e-mail me back your interest and availability or your typed up answers to these questions:

QUESTIONS
1. Why do you believe Twitter is considering expanding its character limit from 140 to 10,000 characters? What factors are provoking this possible change?
2. Do you believe this change will actually be implemented? If so, when?
3. How will this change affect/impact digital publishers/content providers and marketers? What are the pros and cons of this change for these folks?
4. What important ramifications will this change have for social media, electronic publishers, and users/consumers of e-content?
5. This is a radical departure for Twitter – how do you interpret this decision? Does it smack of desperation or indicate a failing company to you in any way? Or will this prove to be a brilliant strategy? Which side of the fence do you fall on and why?
