Twitter to eliminate photos and links in character count: report
(Reuters) – Twitter Inc users will soon have more flexibility in writing tweets because the company plans to stop including photos and links as part of its 140-character limit, according to a Bloomberg report. Months earlier, Twitter Chief Executive Jack Dorsey said the company would simplify its product in an effort to attract new users. “We think there's a lot of opportunity in our product to fix some broken windows that we know are inhibiting growth,” Dorsey said during a February earnings call.
