Twitter is finally coming up with it’s doubled-up tweet length for all users. It has been testing the feature of extending a tweet’s length to 280 characters for almost two months, and has come to the decision to enable it, this Tuesday. The new feature will be applicable to all languages except Chinese, Japanese and Korean which have pictorial alphabets and thus do not face much of a spacing issue.
Although advertisers, who create ads through Twitter’s self-serve platform, won’t be able to take advantage of the new length as of now, but will be allowed to post 280-character-long organic tweets and run those as Promoted Tweets, said a Twitter spokesperson. The spokesperson added that the support for 280 characters ads will be out “in the coming months”.
