Twitter Increasing Character Limit To 280
Well, after years of rumors, it's finally happening. Twitter is increasing the character limit to 280.
|
I really hate character limits, especially ones as low as that :p good change.
|
When is this going into effect? I'm still only allowed 140 characters. Is this change only for certain users or something? Are there certain conditions that I haven't met that I need to in order to qualify?
Nonetheless, though, upstart competitor Gab (which I have an account and, but that place has been slammed as being an "alt-right propaganda site") allows for 300 characters in user messages. |

About fucking time.

Hallelujah
|
Finally I can post larger ascii art on twitter
|
This is a change that we definitely needed. I always found 140 way too small for a character limit so these new changes will be more beneficial to the site, and therefore means better tweets.
|
Finally more characters with which to scream about nothing.
|
It took them this long for them to finally consider doubling the character limit? I've seen so many people resorting to posting an image of a long tweet, among other tricks to get around it.
A welcome change nevertheless. |
thank god, i no longer have to reply to my own tweet to add more
|
i used to find twitter's character limit to be a positive thing in that it requires you to concisely express your thoughts, but after actually being on the platform i was quickly proven wrong.
this is definitely a welcome change, though! |
The character limit on Twitter was way too short, this is a great improvement.
|
Whoa boy, I didn't expected Twitter to raise the character limits, but still, it's a good thing.
|
It's such a neat change since I can't summarize longer things for the life of me.
|
Anyone here get the change yet? I'm still at 140.
|
I'm in the same case as EC. I'm still at the 140 limit.

I was wondering why I was seeing such long tweets from people lately. Weird.. definitely gonna take some getting used to for me, they're longer than I'd like now but I guess it cuts down on the number of people breaking their novel tweets into 10 different posts haha.
