What would Twitter be like if its tweets had no boundaries anymore? In November 2017, the network social already announced they were doubling the character limit per tweet from 140 to 280, and that was already a nice shake-up. This Friday, April 14 morning, when I opened the app, I found myself face to face with the unthinkable: the longest tweet in the world, 10,000 characters, no interest and no way to escape son frenetic twist. It was signed by well-known developer and blogger Jane Manchun Wong, well known in the twitter world, but now it can come from any Twitter Blue account. The announcement was made on the official Twitter Write account late at night. Since February, the limit for subscribers to a premium Twitter account can be up to 4000 characters, but it seems that the new boss of the network social Elon Musk was not satisfied. With 10,000 characters, on theoretically should be able to write 2000 words. What to leave a lot place write what he wants to write or act like Jane Manchun Wong and report the situation by falling asleep on son keyboard and a key with the letter A.

To offer something more than just an increased limit, Twitter decided to add a tool to make our text italic or bold (which is not yet visible in embedded tweets on sites (external, as here in our article). This formatting doesn’t go any further, but remains exclusive to those who choose to subscribe to the new paid formula, which still costs €9.6 per month. Most decide to follow to get the certification badge, mostly because of their egos, while others are more interested in being able to change their tweets after posting.

We can imagine that the last decision of 10,000 Twitter signatures for Twitter Blue followers is Elon Musk’s last far-fetched decision. But this measure fits well with a strategy aimed at making the platform an unlimited tool for all those who would like to monetize their activities and make a living from their content. Twitter over the year continued to develop in this direction, made even before the arrival of a new boss and owner of the company. Look comment some will assimilate the new limit without falling into the abyss of emptiness.
