Here's How To Get 280 Characters On Twitter, If You Don't Have Them Already
Yesterday, Twitter announced that it is expanding its character limit from 140 to 280 for "a small group" of users, which founder Jack Dorsey debuted (with a rather wordy tweet):
If you aren't a member of that small group, you might be feeling a jealous of the users who are now writing very long tweets. What do they have that you don't? Don't you deserve to share your thoughts in twice-as-long fragments with the world?
You sure do! And now you can, because web developer Juliette Pretot made a handy and easy-to-use bookmark that overrides Twitter's character limit for those who are still in 140-character prison. All you have to do is drag and drop a bit of code onto your bookmarks bar, go to Tweetdeck (the web version) and start tweeting those extra-long missives. Get out there and have fun — but use your newfound superpower wisely.
