That is now set to change. Twitter addressed on Tuesday that it would be a test to extending the text limit of a post on its service to 280 characters. In effect, that would double the length of the first two sentences of this paragraph; those sentences, for the record, add up to 140 characters to share words proudly.
Twitter said the goal was to eliminate the viewed as objected and constraints that kept people from tweeting more frequently. Closing the significant barrier, according to Twitter’s internal research, has been the stringent limit on character count.
“When people don’t have to cram their thoughts into 140 characters and actually have some to spare, we see more people tweeting,” Twitter said in a blog post.
Twitter is now preparing for a backlash from those who might take issue with a 280-character tweet.
“We understand since many of you have been tweeting for years, there may be an emotional attachment to 140 characters,” the company said. “But we tried this, saw the power of what it will do, and fell in love with this new, still brief, constraint.”
The negative reaction was swift, however. Some on Twitter proclaimed it a “terrible idea.” seems like people are happy in 140 words.
As the world is changing rapidly why would twitter stay away the intentions are clear for the fans of twitter write as much as you can.
