Twitter Is Testing Out 280-Character Tweets
Can't fit your Tweet into 140 characters?
Twitter is trialling a new 280-character limit, saying some users are finding it hard to express themselves currently.
The changes are being trialled on a select number of users this month.
A spokesperson for Twitter said:
"We want every person around the world to easily express themselves on Twitter, so we're doing something new: we're going to try out a longer limit, 280 characters, in languages impacted by cramming (which is all except Japanese, Chinese, and Korean)."
"Although we feel confident about our data and the positive impact this change will have, we want to try it out with a small group of people before we make a decision to launch to everyone."
