After the character limit is set to 10,000, Twitter wants to change long tweets into blog posts: support embedding images.
According to CTOnews.com on May 3, when Twitter was founded, the number of words per tweet was limited to 140. it did not double to 280characters until 2017.
When Musk took the helm of Twitter, he overhauled it so that it was no longer just a Weibo (microblogging) type of social platform.
Musk has announced that Twitter Blue subscribers will be allowed to post 10,000-character tweets. The latest news is that Twitter will soon support embedding pictures in long tweets, thus implementing the blog type.
Jane Manchun Wong, a reverse engineer, says Twitter has begun to study the ability to include images in long tweets. CTOnews.com note, the effect is very similar to a blog with images between paragraphs, making long tweets more interesting.
Since only Blue subscribers can use long tweets, only paying subscribers can use the upcoming image feature.
