Twitter tests longer character limit
You may soon get to say a lot more on Twitter.
The social media giant announced it is testing a longer character limit.
The change will extend the current 140 characters to 280 for all languages except Japanese, Chinese and Korean.
Users won’t see this change right away, though.
Only a small percentage will be testing it at first, and according to the company, it is just a test and there is no guarantee this change will be available to everyone.
