Twitter would really like to take this to DM

A new update puts a direct message icon directly below tweets—next to the “like” button—in both iOS and Android, making it easy to link to tweets within DMs with just a few clicks. 

Twitter says DM activity grew by 60% in 2015, and that sharing tweets through DMs has increased by 200% in the past six months alone. Sounds like lifting the character limit on DMs was a good call.
