Anyone who has ever tweeted in his lifetime knows the struggle of expressing their thoughts in Twitter’s 140-characters limit. More often than not, it is the English language that takes the beating with most of us tweeting away in SMS language – something that makes all of us look like middle school teens. Well, not anymore! If a re/code report is to be believed, Twitter is building a new product that will allows users to type and share longer tweets.
Although there are already some products that let users post blocks of text by converting them into images, Twitter’s new feature or product may allow users to actually write long-form tweets. Sources familiar to the development say that the debate has been going on internally at Twitter as to whether or not to tweak the trademark 140 character barrier.
Lately, the company has been looking for ways to provide more room for users to type by relaxing its character limit. It is considering to discount usernames and urls from the word count. If you remember, Twitter recently brought ‘retweet with comment’ option as well as direct messages feature that gave people some relaxation from the character limit.
