Twitter becomes softer on 140 characters: what’s new in 4 points – Il Sole 24 Ore

Twitter has always been the synthesis of the world. 140 characters to express a thought, post a link, answer. A synthesis that has always split in two users social, between those who worshiped him right now, and those who preferred the less binding Facebook. Now the social network of Jack Dorsey announced some changes that will change the way you tweet. These are changes that actually will make Twitter a less compelling platform from the point of view of the famous 140 characters. On the official blog it wrote that the new features will be introduced in the space of a month.

Here’s what will change in four points:
The names of users
to save space, Twitter will even out the names of people to whom we respond in 140 characters. A very useful solution especially when you reply within a discussion with multiple users. But eye, the rule only applies to tweet in response, and not to those where the user name is entered manually.

Photos, videos and Gif Not
They will be counted in 140 characters even the extra-textual content, such as photos, video, gif, surveys and tweets of other embedded users.

The links remain in the count
In many have wondered if the new modulation of concern even count the links, often considered annoying by their length. Twitter explained that the links will remain part of the current 140 characters No discount.

and mentions Retweet
has been introduced, in addition, the possibility of retwittarsi alone . One way – according to Twitter to post a new idea which according to the user is “unnoticed.” Here the risk is closely tied to the ego of the user. Finally, no more little formula. “@” To tweet to someone and make it visible to all. The tweet starting with a username will be visible to all. An answer, however, will remain visible only to the user users mentioned.
