While Twitter might not be for everyone, Businesses that do use it are sure to have found frustration when adding an attachment, image or video that takes the post over the 140 character limit. This usually leads to shortening sentences, removing punctuation or spending time thinking of a shorter word that will work instead of another.
There has been much talk about Twitter deciding to remove the character limit in the past, Twitter has always been reluctant to do so as they have made their name as a social network by using short and sweet posts.
Finally from this week adding an attachment, video, photograph or GIF will no longer take a bite out of your all important 140 characters meaning less time spent fiddling with your tweet and more effective business promotion, Even better still twitter has now removed usernames from the character limit – Interacting with your customers has now become even easier and painless.
Say more about what’s happening! Rolling out now: photos, videos, GIFs, polls, and Quote Tweets no longer count toward your 140 characters. pic.twitter.com/I9pUC0NdZC
