<\/a><\/p>\n Today, we\u2019re excited to announce an upcoming set of changes rolling out over the coming months to enable people to express even more within 140 characters. These changes will allow for richer public conversations that are easier to follow on Twitter, and ensure people can attach extra elements, media, and content to Tweets without sacrificing the characters they have to share their view.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Exciting? It’s definitely a change\u00a0we’ve all been expecting for some time now but is it for the better?<\/p>\n The removal of replied-to usernames from the tweet count makes perfect sense to me. As does fixing the hack of “.@” so often used. What concerns me however is no longer counting media attachments.<\/p>\n Get ready for your timeline to be inundated<\/em><\/strong> with\u00a0media. Every PR firm and social media manager will be salivating over this one. Now every tweet can be accompanied with more words and imagery to further help their tweets scream for attention.<\/p>\n Good or bad? What’s your thoughts?<\/p>\n\n
