Twitter is about to exclude images and links from the 140-character limit for its posts.
The change could take place in as soon as two weeks, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.
Twitter currently cuts links down to a minimum of 23 characters, and 24 characters for including a picture in a post.
The company has been mulling over the idea of expanding the character limit, according to a January Recode article.
But its CEO Jack Dorsley also expressed affection for the current limit for inspiring “creativity and brevity” and a “sense of speed.”
“We'll never lose that feeling,” he Tweeted in January, using a picture of 10 paragraphs of text---one of the creative way Twitter users employ to deal with the character limit.
