Twitter is about to make a big change to the way tweets work.
From today, it’s reported that Twitter is cutting back on what types of content will use up its 140-character limit.
It’s expected that @names in replies, media attachments (like photos, GIFs, videos, and polls) and quoted Tweets will no longer be counted against the valuable 140 characters that make up a tweet. This allows for richer public conversations that are easier to follow on Twitter and ensures people can attach media to tweets without sacrificing the characters they have to express themselves.
