Up to 10K characters to be exact!! Twitter can I tell you this is SO dope, allowing people to have real conversations in the DM’s could most definitely to more leaked content but the real win is the possibility of the public timeline limit getting expanded!!!
Right now it’s DM’s, but this feels like a beta for Twitter servers to see if they can handle it as it’s their most requested ‘fix’.
“It’s the No. 1 request we get from folks,” said Sachin Agarwal, product manager for DMs, in an interview.
With the recent additions of group and photo messaging in DM’s, twitter is really trying to give people what they want!
“We want to make sure you can really fluidly move between public and private,” he says. Among other things, removing the 140-character cap on messages make it easier for businesses to conduct customer service over DMs.
There has also been talk of twitter putting out a stand alone messaging app, like FB did, which FB has seen success with their ‘messanger app’, but not sure people will want yet another app to do what they’ve already been doing and now that you have 10K characters in your DM…..but if they need to do that to open up the characters on the public timelines, I’m with it!!!!
Ok with all that being said, you can now hit up the @InFlexWeTrust twitter to DM us your #IFWTea 0_o
