Från och med den 19 september så kan du Twittra lite längre och lite mer. Då tas ditt Twitternamn inte med i dina inlägg, länkar, bilder och videor räknas inte heller in i gränsen på 140-tecken.
Planerna på att plocka bort en del information från 140-tecken gränsen presenterades redan i maj i år men det har dröjt ända till nu innan Twitter sjösätter det nya sättet att räkna på 140 tecken.
Twitter first announced plans to stop counting extras like photos, videos, and user polls toward the limit back in May, but gave no firm date on when the shift would occur. A Twitter spokesperson declined to comment when contacted by The Verge. The date comes from two sources familiar with the company’s business, but plans for the rollout could change.
Another new adjustment to the character limit is that usernames will no longer count when they’re at the beginning of replies, giving users additional room for discussion. It’s unclear whether all of these changes will occur simultaneously; certain content types may gradually stop counting against the character limit in stages. But the company will at least kick off the move next Monday.
”This is the most notable change weve made in recent times around conversation in particular, and around giving people the full expressiveness of the 140 characters,” CEO Jack Dorsey told The Verge in May. ”Im excited to see even more dialog because of this.”
