You can only say so much in 140 characters, but that doesn’t stop. Millions of tweets from being tweeted each day. Last week, twitter. Ceo jack dorsey announced a few changes to the character limit that will allow users. To include a little more in each tweet. These changes aren’t as dramatic. As dorsey’s proposed 10,000 character limit that he talked about in january that. Led to many complaints among users who like the brevity of. The 140 character limit. With share prices at a lull and a struggle to retain. Active users, twitter has been brain storming. Ways to improve the platform and redefine the experience.
In the beginning or the twitter era most tweets were simply just text
If you take a scroll through your twitter feed today, you are bound to see links, images, and videos in most posts. People still share witty tweets, funny mishaps, and the occasional rant, but more often people are sharing outside content. Up until now, this content counted as part of the 140 characters, leading many to use shortened links to save valuable character space.
The changes
Although you can do quite a bit with a tweet these days, including: polling, sharing. Perisccope broadcasts, and reacting with gifs, twitter. Wants users to be able to do more. Here are the changes twitter will be rolling out in. The months to follow that will help users say more while still sharing outside content.
Replies:
When replying to a tweet, the phone number list characters of the @name handles you included used to count towards the character count. Responding to a group of two or three friends could take up most of your tweet, leaving no room for actual words. Twitter wants people to have those conversations, so they’ll no longer be including any name characters as part of your 140. This will allow for easier communication and avoid penny-pinching your words.
Media attachments:
Want to include that hilarious cat gif to your tweet, but don’t want to use up all your word space? Worry no more, media attachments like gifs, polls, photos, and quote tweets will no longer be included in your character count. So add that silly cat and all the text you want.
Most of us have a funny tweet from 2010 that didn’t get the response
That we quite hoped for back then. Twitter will finally be enabling the retweet button on your own content, allowing for you to share your IT Cell Number old tweets to your current followers. In addition, you will be able to quote tweet yourself if you want to share more insight into that tweet. Plus the quote won’t count towards your character limit, yay. Replying to the public used to be a pain in the rear to say the least. When you’d start a tweet with a user name, you had to add a period before the @ in order for the tweet to be seen by your followers. Now, all new tweets that start with a username will be shared to all your followers. Replies can now be retweeted to be seen by all your followers.
