Have you seen Twitter users who write a string of tweets on a single topic? There's no feature in Twitter that allows for long posts, though Twitlonger somewhat helps with this. Fortunately, Twitter seems to be working on a feature related to this.

According to app engineer Jane Manchun Wong, Twitter is working on a feature called "Twitter Articles". From what we can tell, this feature allows users to write long-form articles within Twitter without the character limit. Currently, most users who want to exceed the character limit have to rely on posting Twitter threads.

For your info, Twitter doubled its character limit to 280 back in 2017. But Twitter is a social media platform that promotes discussions, so the capability to post full-length articles would be better for blog posts or opinion articles. Of course, some people suggest that a single long-form post won't have as much engagement as multiple tweets in a Twitter thread. For now, we can only wait to see what happens.

But what do you think about this, do you prefer posting a Twitter thread or a single article? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.
