And the Internet from the news happily buzzed and instantly was filled with joking about this, no doubt, "historical" innovations. While the ability to publish twice the amount of text in test mode, but something tells us that this update will quickly take root in the world of microblogging.
According to an official press release, the management has decided to take this step in order to give users more freedom to Express their thoughts. Before, people needed to be as concise as possible in order to stay within 140 characters. Now microblogger can become more relaxed. No need to worry that a few words will not fit in the message, interrupting him at the most interesting place, and will have to cut the text by abbreviations and other tricks.
"We understand that many of you over the years of using Twitter strongly tied to the 140-character limit. We do feel for him the warmest feelings. But still we decided to try to increase the maximum amount of text, so as you can see in this great run."
While access to the new extended limit (recall that this is still a test function), received only selected bloggers. Despite this, you can go to some the trick and get this opportunity through some cunning manipulation. One of the ways described in detail . But it is best to wait for when the feature will be available to all users without exception officially.
