The news has had a mixed reaction from users, many of whom would have preferred an 'edit' button over an increased character length. Brevity has been the attraction of Twitter and users have usually turned to 'threads' to convey a longer message, so it remains to be seen as to whether the trial will be rolled out for all users.
Twitter for the first time is expanding beyond its 140-character limit, the company announced today. The social network says it will now try out a longer limit of 280 characters in select languages, including English, in order to allow people to share their expanded thoughts without running out of room to tweet.
