Early on, Twitter’s 140-character limit served as its defining characteristic (an artefact of supporting SMS as a way to distribute tweets). Five years ago, the limit was raised to 280 characters, and it will soon be considerably higher—probably at a cost.
This is a component of the relaunch of Twitter Blue, which will also feature checkmarks in various colours. For accounts that have undergone a review procedure, the recognizable blue checkmark will show (the specifics of which are unclear). Then there will be gold checkmarks for businesses and gray checkmarks for government officials and organizations.
Users will have early access to new features, such as lengthier films with up to 1080p resolution, when they have the blue checkmark, which is the one that counts to people. It’s unclear when additional features will go live; all we know for sure is that tweets can be edited starting on day one.
The most recent news is that Twitter will soon expand the maximum character count for a tweet to 4,000. Given how frequent Twitter threads are, this modification may be beneficial (threads are not the most readable way to present information).
Elon Musk didn’t specify whether this change would be limited to Twitter Blue subscribers in his curt response to a question about it.
It would undoubtedly be a means of persuading individuals to pay the $8 monthly subscription fee for Blue.
And that’s just if you use the website; otherwise, Twitter for iOS will cost you $11 per month to cover the 30% Apple App Store fee.
By the way, Twitter Blue users will only see half the advertising; it is not an ad-free membership.
The fact that accounts with Twitter Blue will be given preference when presenting mentions and search results may be debatable. In other words, you have to pay the piper if you want more people to read your work.
