In a blog post Wednesday, Facebook\u2019s Journalist Program Manager (and Mashable alum) Vadim Lavrusik announced that the limit of Facebook status updates has now been upped to \u201cmore than 60,000 characters.\u201d When Mashable asked, Lavrusik explained what that meant, exactly: You can now post a status update measuring 63,206 characters.<\/p>\n

(As Lavrusik points out, an average novel will now require nine status updates.) This also goes for group messages and posts on your friends\u2019 walls \u2014 so you can now annoy the heck out of them with unreasonably long catch-up messages.<\/p>\n
