Twitter is about
to stop counting pictures and links in the limit, allowing for more words in
tweets .Shortly, you will be able to tweet a photo or link without it counting
against your 140-character count. The change is expected to
happen to the social media site within the next two weeks, according to Bloomberg.
Someone "familiar with the matter" told Bloomberg that
Twitter is planning to make the change in as soon as two weeks. However,
nothing has been officially confirmed by the company.
URL links, including ones to images,
currently take 23
characters off a
tweet's character count. There were rumours earlier this year that Twitter was
considering allowing tweets up to 10,000 in characters. But Twitter CEO Jack
Dorsey refused the rumour in March saying that the 140 character limit is
staying.
