Twitter, the social network known for forcing its users to express themselves concisely, began its latest attempt at reinvention with a post from its chief executive that was about 10 times longer than the average tweet. What if, Jack Dorsey tweeted, users could post up to 10,000 characters instead of the current defining limit of 140? As Mr Dorsey hoped, all hell has broken loose in the Twittersphere about whether this would rip the heart and purpose out of the social network.
以強迫用戶簡潔發表觀點而知名的社群網站Twitter開始了其最新變革嘗試,該公司執行長傑克•多西(Jack Dorsey)發表了一條字元數量爲正常貼文約10倍的貼文。他寫道,如果用戶可以發佈最多1萬個字元,而不受其當前標誌性的140個字元的限制,會怎樣呢?正如多西希望的那樣,圍繞這是否會破壞這家社群網站的核心和宗旨,Twitter圈子炸開了鍋。
