| Twitter may allow you to tweet more than 280 characters |
Twitter is known for its short content that ranges from quick reactions to hilarious comics, and is known for limiting its users to tweets of 280 characters.
While that's usually enough for most people, a new report suggests that those looking to post longer tweets may do so soon.
According to reverse engineering expert Jane Manchun Wong, Twitter is working on a new feature called Twitter Articles, which will allow users to post longer posts.
Wong posted a screenshot of his Twitter post. She wrote that the platform is developing a Twitter post feature and the ability to create posts on Twitter. Perhaps a new long form will come.
Although the screenshots do not reveal many details. However, he indicated that Twitter posts may have their own section in the platform app.
In subsequent tweets, Wong suggested a number of potential uses for the Twitter Articles feature. She added, "There can be a lot of potential with articles like B. Exclusive articles, newsletters with in-app user experience, cross-platform chat functionality, and bundled articles (per news site) with a news reader subscription form. .
Twitter is testing a new article feature
A spokesperson for the platform said: “We are always looking for new ways to help people get started and have conversations on our platform. We will release more information about our work soon.
When the platform was first launched in 2006, tweets were limited to 140 characters, which was very short. But in 2018, the platform doubled that limit to 280 characters to make it easier for users to express themselves.
However, when the character limit was lifted, initial data from Twitter showed that most users were still posting short tweets.
In a 2018 blog post after trying the character limit. Alyssa Rosen, the company's product manager, explained that we're concerned that the timeline is filled with 280-character tweets. We're also concerned that people with new restrictions are still using all the space. But this did not happen.
She added: 5% of the tweets sent were longer than 140 characters and 2% were longer than 190 characters. So your experience of reading the timeline shouldn't change drastically. You always see the same number of Tweets on your timeline.
