How Did The Social Media World React To Twitter’s #280characters?

Twitter has been always coming up with new changes and features to muse more users. Let us first look at how Twitter has changed over the years. In November 2009, Twitter introduced ‘Retweets’ and it was an instant hit amongst users. Later in April 2015, you could send other’s tweets as ‘Quote Tweets’. In May 2016, the ‘Favorites’ were replaced by ‘Likes’, and there were some mixed reactions to it, nut soon tweeples got used to it. The newest change being the introduction of 280 character tweets, was a relief for some expressive writers, and for some just another reason to complain!

Let’s take a look how people and brands all over the world, tweeted with this extended character limit.
