Twitter might be doubling their word count

Apparently, they're thinking about this. If they do, I wonder how it will affect us? My guess is more Twitter comps would require more effort, rather than just a simple F&RT.

Blu X
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apology
THIS IS ME!


When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.

    Quite a few sob stories are going to be appearing in short form I think. :eek::mad: And perhaps a few more condensed inventive ones too.
    Didn't they, at one point, suggest a bigger character count recently?
    At least 280 letters still restricts some of what we see on FB. Just less emojis I suppose ;)
    If it comes about, I'm looking forward to a brand new 'Sob stories seen on Twitter thread (280 character special) :rotfl:

    I was thinking the exact same thing! YAY now we can all list the misfortunes that have befallen us/pets that have died/ sick relatives/ orphaned pigeons that are likely to pine away into nothing if not for a win to give them reason to carry on.

    Sigh.
    Living thriftily ;) most of the time
