Twitter and Money

I tried to contact with Twitter HQ by emails, but I got nothing. As you all know, Twitter can not generate money with their service, so instead of that they start building another websites to support their service. I was thinking what will happen if Twitter increase their letters from 140 to 240 or 280 maximum. Many users will not use the service and because it is 140 only, talky people won’t use it because 140 is not enough for them.
What I was thinking about is to let users buy more letters. Anyone uses twitter to market to some products or websites will buy more letters to deliver the message clearly to the followers. Let say the extra 140 letter will cost you 0.25$, and you can use them all by one tweet, or separate the letters as much you want. Let say I have more than 10,000 followers and less following, and I can sell these letters to advertising companies for more than 0.25$ .. that makes me happy, and advertising companies find a new way to advertise.
I sent another email to Twitter last week, and still I still nothing.
