Twitter betrays 140 characters to conquer new users – The Republic

IN 140 CHARACTERS you can say a thousand things. But Twitter wants to go further and according to rumors is preparing a new product designed to eliminate the limit of 140 characters, its hallmark. The 140 characters had already been felled in some functions of the platform as direct messages and retweet with comment. The company has extreme need to win new users, in July they stood at 316 million. The blogging was also passed by Instagram, increase to 400 million monthly active users.

According to the Re / Code, there are no details yet about this new product of Twitter beyond the 140 characters, nor are there no official comment from the company. For years, it has developed a debate on the opportunities that exceeded 140 characters could give users as well as businesses on the platform and advertising. And has resurfaced recently with the interim Jack Dorsey in the role of chief executive, after former CEO Dick Costolo fell under pressure from Wall Street.

In April, Twitter has added the function retweet with comment that fact more space for users to write, to June instead another step forward Twitter offered it by removing the stake of 140 characters in direct messages, those that are exchanged privately between users, marked by ‘icon of the sachet. And there are systems like One Shot, which gives the ability for users to post photos of texts. But are external services at Twitter. In July monthly users of microblog were up 15% to 316 million, a far cry from almost one and a half billion “friends” on Facebook.
