Twitterati welcomes 280 characters in Twitter

The social networking site initiated the move to draw more users.

Twitterati reacted to the extension of the word limit.

Many of them were quite happy to see the extension.

However, some users were not satisfied and demanded an edit button.

Initially, Twitter allowed its users just 140 characters which were not enough for its users to express their opinions.

Twitter had started testing the increase of its word limit in early September.

The word limit has been increased to all languages except for Japanese, Korean and Chinese as these languages did not have any space limitation.
