    Tweets Will Get Twice As Long And People Are Afraid

    Just going to be more spam!! More Trump talking shit!



    Love ?em or hate ?em, tweets are about to get a whole lot longer.

    Twitter representatives announced Tuesday that the addictive microblogging site will be testing a 280-character limit for tweets, doubling its current 140-character standard.

    The expanded space is currently available only to a small test group, but the blog post announcing that test hinted the feature will soon be site-wide.

    ?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,? wrote Twitter product manager Aliza Rosen and senior software engineer Ikuhiro Ihara.

      Don't they realize the whole idea of Twitter is that the 140 character limit is just enough to really make you think about what you say? Oh wait, they made Twitter so I guess they do know.

      In Trump's case, there is no thinking so the character limit won't make a difference. It'll still be shitty things written horribly -- only twice as much.

          Twitter's lost it already.

          I joined at the time of the #iranelection . It was great then.

              Well, I guess I'll need to buy more RAM. So my computer won't have out-of-memory errors, because of these extra however-many-more characters that tweets will have now.

              Thanks a lot Twitter! Are you going to help me pay for the upgrade to my computer? I didn't think so!

                  Actually the original twitter character length was based on the 160 max in an sms. (140 for the customer to use, and 20 for the company to run an ad at the foot of the msg.)

                  Twitter was originally a tool to be used to send out broadcast sms to whoever joined or "followed" you. This model only worked in the US where the receiver of the sms paid rather than the sender.

                  Over time it morphed into the monster it is now and its original business model was forgotten.

                              This is a mistake. The 140char limit forces people to be direct and to the point. Oh well.
