Twitter is doubling up their character limit, and the social network’s users have mixed feelings.
In an official blogpost posted this morning Twitter staff elaborated on this move:
“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].”
Locally, the change has sparked mixed reactions.
Tweeps around the world aren’t too happy about it either:
However, Twitter cofounder and CEO Jack Dorsey isn’t bothered by the critique.
The new direction is currently being tested with a select few tweeps, but the official date this feature will be phased in has not officially been announced.
