Twitter Should Enhance Character Limit For Posting

By: rajabasu | Posted Sep 02, 2015 | General | 577 Views

I humbly request Twitter to enhance the number of characters(140) that it allows at present to an user for making a posting. While a number of Twitter users across the world - including notable personalities - are very much comfortable with the limit of 140 characters, it is nevertheless true that some people(including me) find this limit of 140 characters a bit inadequate to express themselves properly. And they therefore resort to Facebook "Status Updates" for expressing their views/opinions on issues, etc.


Using Facebook "Status Updates" facility for micro-blogging or similar purposes is certainly a good idea. After all, what matters is the opportunity to express oneself, and not necessarily the medium. However, having said this, we can not wish away the fact that Facebook is primarily a Social Networking site, while Twitter is a "dedicated" Micro-Blogging site.


Therefore, Twitter may spare some thought on whether it is OK to retain the limit of 140 characters, or whether it needs a revamp.
