Twitter announced yesterday that subscribers of their Twitter blue service can now tweet way more than normal – a full 280 characters, to be exact. And while I”m all for it, because I ramble on way too much sometimes, I can’t help but laugh at some of the memes about the new feature.

Anywho, here is the official announcement from Twitter, yes the odd capitalization (or lack thereof) is on their end.

need more than 280 characters to express yourself?

we know that lots of you do… and while we love a good thread, sometimes you just want to Tweet everything all at once. we get that.

so we’re introducing longer Tweets! you’re gonna want to check this out. tap this

starting today, if you’re subscribed to Twitter Blue in the US you can create longer Tweets.

most standard functions of Tweeting still apply, whether you want to post a picture, use a hashtag, or create a poll. but now you can type all the way up to 4,000 characters. for now, longer Tweets on web can’t be saved as drafts or scheduled to send later.

but don’t worry, Twitter is still Twitter. we know longer Tweets could mean a lot of scrolling, so they’ll be capped at 280 characters on your timeline and you’ll see a “Show more” prompt to click and read the whole Tweet.

while only Blue subscribers can post longer Tweets, anyone and everyone can read them. you can reply to, retweet, and quote Tweet a longer Tweet, no matter if you’re a Twitter Blue subscriber or not. subscribers will be able to reply and QT with up to 4,000 characters.

let us know what you think. we’re excited to see how you use the extra space!
