BREAKING: Twitter HAS Just Officially Doubled Our Character Posting Length to 280 Characters! - in the Last Several Hours! Not Fake News LOL

in #news7 years ago


This is honestly truth -- I had to research it a bit not believing it right away but it is true, you can now use 280 characters on your twitter posts, not the 140 it has had for years and years!

They had a Trial Run in September to a limited # of people to field test it and crunch the numbers.

Most people should automatically see the 280-character feature. If not, they can update their mobile app or refresh twitter.com on their computers.

(#280Characters) -- is the official Trending Hashtag on this, gone viral.


People tweeting in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese will remain at the 140 character limit for now.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.

Sort:  

Then call me weird, because I miss the 140 character limit. It was supposed to block the bullshit from Twitter.

There is that angle to this.

Do you mind elaborating?

This is great news!
Thank you for sharing this fabulous update @barrydutton

Good information .i like your post

Thats realy impressive. You just gave us an eye opener. Good one

That tops Zappl limit of 240 characters.

Of course, one can get paid on Zappl....did twitter add that in?

I dont think so. :)
