Your Twitter rants could soon get longer – 9,860 characters longer, that is.
According to Re/code, Twitter is considering expanding tweets to 10,000
characters. The change is internally referred to as “Beyond 140,” and
there’s no official date set for its launch.
However, there is a catch to those longer tweets – users can write up to 10
,000 characters, but only the first 140 will be appear on the Twitter
timeline.
Since the micro-blogging website’s conception, users have been limited to a
140-character limit on their tweets. While Twitter has expanded users’
media options – such as the ability to post multiple photos in one tweet –
the character limit has never changed, much to the annoyance of many users.
“It’s the No. 1 request we get from folks. They want to be able to say
what’s on their mind and be themselves,” Twitter product manager Sachin
Agarwal told The Verge when the company removed its 140 character limit from
direct messages in August.
Not all Twitter users are excited about the proposed change to the platform.
Some fear expanding tweets to 10,000 characters is overkill.
