Twitter Blue Subscribers Can Now Post Tweets Up to 4,000 Characters Long

So, it is a factor…

Twitter has rolled out longer tweets to Twitter Blue subscribers within the US, with paying customers now in a position to put up tweets as much as 4,000 characters in size.

If anybody wanted or wished that.

Longer tweets can be displayed in the primary feed at normal size, with a ‘Show more…’ indicator pointing customers to the rest of the content material.

Actually, it’s sadly ironic that not even Twitter might provide you with a superb use of the additional characters in its instance, however sure, Twitter Blue customers – all 300,000 of them – will now have the ability to put up tremendous lengthy rants about no matter they select within the app.

As defined by Twitter:

“[Twitter Blue users] can also compose longer Tweets in a Quote Tweet or reply. Standard functionality like posting media, creating polls, and using hashtags still apply. Everyone will be able to read longer Tweets, but only Blue subscribers can create them.”

I don’t know if anybody requested this, however Twitter 2.0 chief Elon Musk appears satisfied that by enabling customers to put up long-form content material, that may finally open up new avenues to monetization, and can see extra high voices posting extra stuff to the app.

I imply, the latest Twitter Information are most likely the most effective instance – Elon’s hand-picked crew of journalists have been trawling by Twitter’s archives to uncover accusations of corruption and Authorities meddling, all ended up posting their findings in ridiculously lengthy tweet threads within the app.

It will make extra sense to put up them on a extra long-form centered format, however Musk clearly needs all the eye on Twitter – and in cases like this, possibly having longer tweets may very well be helpful.

However I don’t know.

It additionally appears short-sighted to solely present this performance to Twitter Blue customers. As famous, solely a small fraction of Twitter’s 250 milllion total user base is paying for a blue tick, and whereas Twitter is now expanding the offering into new markets, it’s onerous to see it catching on in any possible way.

That implies that a variety of the preferred creators received’t even have the ability to use the choice, which appears counterintuitive. However then once more, Elon will most likely look so as to add in a new monetization element, which it’s a must to pay as much as qualify for, which might be his broader view for limiting entry at this stage.

Who is aware of – possibly it finally ends up being superb, and possibly it makes it manner simpler to put up what would have been multi-tweet threads in a extra participating, attention-grabbing manner within the app.

It’s completely different, for certain, very completely different from Twitter’s regular providing.
