5 reasons why tweets should not exceed 140 characters on Twitter

The Dhaka Times Desk Although not as popular as Facebook, Twitter is no less ahead of it. But more than 140 characters cannot be tweeted in it. Find out 5 reasons why today.

Twitter is widely known as microblogging site all over the world. However, like Facebook or Google Plus, large posts cannot be given on Twitter. Very short post should be given in it i.e. within 140 characters. Many Twitter users are unhappy. They have been complaining about this as a limitation of Twitter for a long time. They have been demanding that Twitter post sizes be bigger.

Why this limitation on Twitter? Co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey explains 5 reasons why.

One. Twitter actually believes in brevity and time. That is, tweet whenever it happens, right then. If tweets longer than 140 characters were allowed, everyone would have to read long texts instead of small tweets, which would break the continuity of tweets.

Two. If tweets were longer than 140 characters, Twitter would be considered another Facebook. After 11 years of inception, Facebook has a distinct look or feel. Twitter is fine the way it is. Rather than increasing the size of tweets, Twitter should focus on increasing its effectiveness.

Three. It's more important to make sure that tweets are bigger than ever. Images or any links that do not fall under the character limit. This will make the users more satisfied. They can get their message across more clearly. If it can do that, Twitter can become more popular than Facebook.

Four. If Twitter increases the size of tweets, it will be like Google Plus. That is, it will not have any type of its own. Then there will be an identity crisis. Each has its own being. For example, by connecting with new people or friends, a separate character of Facebook has stood. For example, Instagram is famous for photo sharing, Tumblr is great for blogging. And Twitter is better known for sharing key information in one sentence. So if Twitter increases the size of tweets, it will suffer the same fate as Google Plus.

Five. Now you can also post on Twitter through Facebook. If a Facebook post exceeds 140 characters, Twitter automatically adds a link to that Facebook post. However, this is not very convenient for users. But tweet must be within 140 characters. That's why most people give the right message in few words. Don't waste any sentences unnecessarily.
