“It’s the No. 1 request we get from folks. They want to be able to say what’s on their mind and be themselves. We want to make sure you can really fluidly move between public and private”
The well overdue feature will take affect on mobile apps, desktop apps, the web and some third party apps. One of them being Tweetbot. Twitter says the new character limit will allow businesses to conduct customer service lines for their company all over DMs much easier . In addition, the company will also allow sending links and now lets twitter users share tweets inside their group messages. All the new features will be welcome enhancements.
