Finally, tweets are going to get longer

Ever since Twitter launched, the service has been defined by its 140-character limit for Tweets – but after months of rumours, Twitter has finally confirmed it’s changing.

Thankfully, it’s not going up to the 10,000-character limit some sites predicted.

Instead, Tweets are getting ever-so-slightly longer, with attachments and links no longer contributing to its strict total as part of the overhaul.

Twitter said the simplified rules – to be introduced within months – will mean users’ handles are also removed from the character count when replying.

In addition, any new tweet beginning with a user’s handle will be seen by all followers.

Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey said: ‘We’re always going to look for opportunities to make tweets a lot more expressive, and enable people to say what they want to say.

‘As long as things are fast, easy, simple and expressive, we’re going to look at what we can do to make Twitter a better experience.’
