So many people miss the point of Twitter. I see people tweeting War & Peace in 20 parts. That's not how it's supposed to work. PS: this=140.

It's still not enough for verbose me, Fred Griffin!  

They are still in the testing phase. Trump will love this.

I only use twitter because by default, it's included as a post option in LinkedIn. Not a Twitter fan. Losing interest in "look at me" FB too.

They said they were going to do that 6+ months ago, then decided not to. I'll wait and see. It really isn't needed, and I doubt people will start tweeting 280 words just because they can. @, #, and links make it easier to stay under 140.

yes I heard that, but will not affect my usage.

Yes I would be inclined to use it more. Not sure diehard Twitter users will like it as well.

Now I can really sound off....not really, won’t make a huge impact either way for me.

Nah, I'm good just the way I am

Tweeter accts get hacked way too often for my tastes

This means the stupid people of the world will be able to sound twice as dumb. Twitter contributes nothing to society.

I'm not a fan.

that will make Trump happy....

I did hear the news but also recall the company was considering this in the past -- I "use" Twitter primarily to share AR blog posts.  My participation beyond that has been pretty limited and can't say it will change my usage.  

Doug Dawes nailed this one!

Interesting, I don't think it will change the platform much- and that seems really long to double the responses 

Might help, but I never got into twitter.

That won't affect me but I bet certain people will be happy they can get more in. 

I think people who currently do 3/4 part posts still will.

I heard that on BBC this morning. Don't know that I'll use it more or less for the extra characters... we'll see.

Well, that's good news Fred Griffin for those who use Twitter

Do not use Twitter much, but should probably, just not enough time in the day.

Fred Griffin - the initial purpose was to say everything in 140 characters - and now they realize, after so many years, that 140 is not enough!

Can we control? I guess not!

Will not affect me none.

It's about time!!!!  They've only been teasing us with this for the last year!  Yes, my usage of twitter will increase since 140 chars is not enough for most posts.

Gulty as charged; I don't use Twittley dumb dumb

Probably not for me Fred. I try to keep it short and sweet on Twitter.

The only thing I use Twitter for is to link my Word Press Posts.  Not sure it will make a big difference for me.  I do think it will make the biggest difference for one man known to use Twitter ... a LOT.

I see the need for a new APP!

It should be called TwitWave.

Any verbose writing fed into TwitWave will be parsed into 280 character twigs and robo fed to twit.

I very likely will continue to USE and ABUSE twit, but like always, will spend no time In Twitsville.

 More people making more noise. Whatever happened to quality?

Won't affect me at all, as I don't Tweet.  I only use the account to post from my FB account, which it does automatically.  I also have my Blog set to post automatically to twitter and other social media accounts.  I only have to post once, and it goes out everywhere..

I do not tweet and don't plan on tweeting!

I did hear that; however, will not make me want to use it.

I don't personally tweet. I have a breaking news feed but it is automated.

I don't use Twitter anymore, so I don't really care

Thanks for sharing.

Great now Trump can say more.

More crap to ignore on that platform.

Fred Griffin Waste of time.
