Good.
Twitter needs to keep moving forward. There have been several features that feel like the core of their platform, but based on their revenue growth, they may be holding them back. Personally, eh, 280-length tweets feel weird and long and I don't see the need, but I'll probably get over it. If they can change how Twitter is used open up new audiences and conversations, this is good.
They are trying something big, and that is Good.
- yssrn 9y agoThe character limit is a core aspect of what makes consuming content on Twitter so engaging vs. other platforms. Will this change improve engagement number or ad revenue? I sincerely doubt it. An actual useful change would be versioning functionality so that users can edit tweets to correct typos or factual errors while not erasing the record.
