Brevity is the soul of twitter, we don't need 280 characters to say that
This story is about how Twitter is changing their 140 character tweet restrictions to 280 characters which is double that amount. Twitter has allowed certain people - mainly celebs or well known people to take advantage of this new perk at first before deciding whether they want to make it permanent. This story goes into the fact that there has been a large backlash on this new development in the sense that the idea of sticking to the point and people are forced to make sure that only relevant things are written in a tweet.
- Brevity is the soul of wit, as Shakespeare told us
- That’s why whenever big news breaks, Twitter is the best place to go. It’s almost always faster and more efficient than television, radio, newspapers, or any other source
In my opinion I think that the fact that this backlash make sense in the sense that people have gotten so used to making sure their tweet sticks to the 140 character guidelines. That this sudden change is seen as unnecessary and pointless. The fact that people's immediate thought is that President Trump is going to be able to tweet more nonsense seeing that this is his favourite platform to use when addressing issues makes up a large argument which I find quite humorous.
