Twitter policy changes 140 characters and launch new products – Publimetro Chile

The social network of microblogging Twitter is one of the most used in the world and the fourth favorite among young people under 35 years.

Its innovative format is one of the things that has positioned here, because while in other networks such as Facebook there is a possibility of write long states , in this the idea is to be precise and summarize our ideas in just 140 characters.

But this has brought some problems , because the time to share images or mention other users, links and nicknames discounted us space to express our ideas.

So Twitter has to work, but not only in this aspect, because so we can see, has decided renew and give a fresh to its millions of users.

These are the innovations that will revolutionize the social network of the bird:

Flexibility at its limit of 140 characters

This “rule” Twitter has always seemed immovable, as though for years many users have asked to remove this limit, their managers and creators have not budged.

But now we see the light at the end of the tunnel: the links of photographs, cited tweets, mentions or GIFs no longer counted within 140 characters.

Retweets their own tweets

As in Facebook can share our own states, Twitter and allow users to retweet in their own tweets to spread further their ideas.

Goodbye to all the TimeLine see the entries were doing

Many did not know this, but the tweets that began with arroba “@.” – ie beginning with a reference to another user-, he did not look at the TL of people, unless they also were followers of profile we mentioned.

Therefore, there were those who began their tweets with references to a point. Insurance ever saw the classic “. @ UserName”. It was the only way that everyone found out these answers and not just a few.

But do not worry, because this new initiative is not filled with “spam” its TL when users schmooze among them, because to tell the social network they want their answers are public, before have you retuitearlas .

A new theme for mobile applications?

As reported users, mobile application, either for iOS or Android, appeared the option to change the topic to “night mode”, which will make the app paint colors dark.

This can help to decrease the brightness when consulted at night.

The option is not yet available for all users, since it is in the testing phase, but surely soon everyone will have it.

We look forward to this new stage of Twitter. Do you like the changes?
