Twitter Shares Mock-Ups of Longer Tweets and How They Would Look In-Stream
Another element of Elon Musk’s ‘Twitter 2.0’ reformation plan is giving users more capacity to share longer posts, either in video or text form, within the app.
Musk has repeatedly noted his desire to build YouTube-like features into the app, enabling users to post longer video, in order to keep viewers from clicking across to another app to consume video content (and provide another monetization opportunity for creators). Longer text is another area of focus, with Musk also telling users that longer tweets – potentially up to 4,000 characters – are coming soon.
So how would that work?
Short-form text has been a foundational element of Twitter, so you can’t just suddenly switch to walls of text dominating the tweet feed, right?
