It would seem that such a trifle: increase the maximum allowed size of messages in the social network Twitter from 140 characters to 280. And the Internet from this news joyfully buzzed and instantly filled with jokes about this, no doubt, "historic" innovation. While the possibility of publishing twice the amount of text works in a test mode, but something tells us that this update will quickly take root in the world of microblogging.
According to an official press release, the Twitter management decided on this step in order to give users more freedom to express their thoughts. Before, people needed to be as laconic as possible to meet 140 characters. Now microbloggers can become more liberated. It will not be necessary to worry that a couple of words will not fit into the message, cutting it off at the most interesting place, and you will have to cut the text by means of abbreviations and other tricks.
"We understand that many of you over the years of using Twitter are strongly attached to the 140-character limit. We ourselves feel the warmest feelings towards him. But still we decided to try to increase the maximum allowable volume of the text, because we see in this an excellent perspective. "
While access to the new extended limit (we remind that this is still a test function), only selected bloggers received. Despite this, you can go for some trick and get this opportunity by some cunning manipulation. One way is described in detail . But it's best to wait until the function is available to all users, without exception, officially.
