It is one of the world's most potent forms of communication. It has enhanced businesses, sped up communication, changed the way we express ourselves, helped shape our virtual identities and has given us all an important inlet of expression. And no matter who you are and what you do- professional or self- employed- you cannot not have used Twitter at some point of time in your life.
Now, the world's most loved and keenly followed the micro-blogging platform has created a unique buzz. Want to know what that is? Read on to find out.
Twitter has had one singular rule and that is all that you want to say and wish to express should be communicated in 140 characters- regardless of it including a caption, link or what you may! Now all of that is said to undergo a change and one that will redefine the existing dynamics of expression and communication on Twitter.
Twitter has just rolled out substantial changes to the character limit. Now, attachments like- GIFs, pictures and polls will no longer count toward the restriction of 140 characters.
An intricate part about viral communication on the famous micro-blogging platform are videos. Posts carrying videos necessitate more furnishing of information and help in supplementing more data for ease and convenience of those who consume it. The new changes in Twitter's character limit means that the 140 character count will allocate space for videos as well as quoted tweets. This simply means, like GIFS and other features, videos too won't be counted toward the 140 character count.
Laugh, jump and celebrate people! Twitter wants you to talk and express yourself more. It definitely means introducing a larger ambit for communication. Twitter simply wants you to say more about what's happening around you and wants you to express yourself. Introverts too, get in the loop!
In its brand new radical spin off around restricted communication, the new Twitter development augurs well for everyone- stakeholders, brands, advertisers et cetera. With the previous restrictions no longer finding their day under the sun, barriers have been gunned down for churning more space in communication.
Twitter is fast, it is moving and it is our real life portrayed viral in mobile communication. Jack Dorsey is responsible for altering the way people would convey a lot in minimal sentences or words. Now, he positively reinforces that Twitter is no longer going to be shy and building more utility into the micro-blogging platform. He's of the view that communication has to change and evolve as people's demands and desires alter with time.
Twitter's new relaxed norm about 140 characters does not mean that the brevity and beauty that came with controlled (don't read monitored) communication is going to get dissipated. Twitter will still inspire creativity and will encourage people to express giving them a tad bit open space in the envelope of expression. After all, barriers break when people talk. Ain't that right?
Apart from the aforementioned developments, Twitter is also experimenting with an option wherein a user's @handle is excluded from the count when you reply to a tweet. That basically means, you have to your access full 140 characters to respond to what others are saying. Isn't that cool?
With such an impressive new change, it seems a lot is going to be in the ebb of Twitter's - world's most followed micro-blogging platform.
