Farewell (more or less) to 140 characters: Twitter gives users more space – BBC

Now it’s official: Twitter works on the limit of 140 characters. And it does not upset anyone, especially the purists of the platform. As is rumored since last January, the microblog has decided to expand the space available without losing all its distinguishing feature. The roof, substantially, remains.

More space

the novelty lies in the possibility to retrofit cinguettiio with the name of another account (only if it is responding to the same ), with photos, GIFs, videos, polls and quotes from other tweet without wasting precious characters.

Farewell to the dot (. @)

You can also call into question another user at the beginning of message without having to put the dot in front of the spiral: all quotes will be (potentially) still visible to the entire follower list.

The self-retweet

E still, you can retwittare or even mention their utterances. The changes will be available in the coming months. They will continue, however, to be counted the links and has not reached the expected ability to edit your entry in the running and shared, as allowed by Facebook. Jack Dorsey, co-founder back at the helm of her child last June, has made it clear to the Wall Street Jorunal to consider self-summons, the ploy to “go back, watch their tweets, correct or comment on them. ”

The problems to be solved

Brevity, speed and the ability to speak – that is, be able to think of something and share it with the rest of the world instantly – are for us are a priority, “he was keen to stress Dorsey. The aim, in fact, is perhaps the only thing not in question and carried out in the best possible way. Not surprisingly, when it comes to comments instantly on the news, Facebook time is nell’inedita role Tracker with Trending section, not yet available in Italy and finished under fire for alleged manipulation of the news related to conservatives. The Dorsey problems remain the growth (and participation) of active users, which reached 310 million share in April, and monetization, with the last quarter that did not convince analysts. The novelty announced today that with the introduction of the algorithm is the most important of the first ten years of life of the platform, try to dab the first flaw: more space and more freedom in the insertion of content should ensure greater interaction.
