And now b4c can post 280 character collages. Twice the characters, twice the creepiness.

^^^There were times when I would run out of characters by just a few, so I am happy with the change.

^My thought too.

There will still be times when you run out of characters by just a few.

^True, but at least there will be enough characters now to type 3, or 4 sentences when needed.

140 characters is more than enough to get your point across

plenty of people doing the thing where you just reply to yourself and finish a though or have a long thread of thoughts spanning 20 tweets. or screen shotting their tweet/notes app that's over limit and posting it as a picture. people have been finding work arounds for the 140 character limit all along.

280 is too much imo but it's a free app that i'll still use so whatever.

^Twitter is a great place to follow the news and argue with people. It's different than facebook. Facebook is more family oriented. People generally follow their closest friends, family, and people they have actually met in person. They also use it to share photos with them. No one goes on twitter and posts hundreds of personal photos of their children and silly memes. That allows for more news related info to pop up on the screen. You can also set pages to take priority, so every post made by that page appears at the top of your twitter feed. Some famous people use twitter to have a place to communicate with their fans, but lock their facebook and only allow their real friends and family on there.
