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.
以强迫用户简洁发表观点而知名的社交网站Twitter开始了其最新变革尝试,该公司首席执行官杰克•多西(Jack Dorsey)发表了一条字符数量为正常帖子约10倍的帖子。他写道,如果用户可以发布最多1万个字符,而不受其当前标志性的140个字符的限制,会怎样呢?正如多西希望的那样,围绕这是否会破坏这家社交网站的核心和宗旨,Twitter圈子炸开了锅。
