      We expected (and ❤️!) all the snark & critique for #280characters. Comes with the job. What matters now is we clearly show why this change is important, and prove to you all it’s better. Give us some time to learn and confirm (or challenge!) our ideas. https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/topics/product/2017/Giving-you-more-characters-to-express-yourself.html …

      Hey @Jack, can you show us examples of 280-character tweets you like? Because every one I've seen so far makes me want to rip my eyes out

      Just retweeted one. Also: most tweets won’t even get close to 280. Likely 160-180. Average today is 35. Don’t imagine that changing. But we are testing.

          Thanks! One point I'd add: newspaper designers rarely let headlines go over 3 lines bc they're aesthetically awful. Same with 4-line tweets

          Yeah. People will still self edit. And having a bit more room to get out of superficial headline takes will be a bet positive. Not saying it’s going to happen, but more room for thought.

          Curious re: 35-character average. Is there a way to see what number is if you filter out egg avatars replying with single-word epithets? :)

          Jack won’t it fundamentally change the charm of twitter? As 180 or 280 may not be great for viewing in mobile

          Don’t think so. It’s the text that’s charming, not the length

          Thanks a ton Jack. Eagerly looking forward 👍 won’t it be good to have a twitter poll, so that it will give us another sample to go over?

          idea: any characters over 140 should be deducted from your next tweet

          Just looked at your retweet and thought that was a little too much. There us beauty in 140 character limit.

          The one you retweeted is way too long. Didn’t even read 1/4 before bailing

          The most important thing is limiting line breaks. There's no reason for a tweet to have more than 10, for instance.

          Distribution of tweets by length will be a bit skewed the first couple of weeks. Then will go down to just a bit more than today’s average.

          Have you some statistics about Italian tweets? Because I think we need more characters using our native language than English
