In an industry fixated on rapid growth, any
slowdown in user acquisition or monitization sounds alarms. And
Twitter, whether it likes it or not, has been sounding a lot of them
lately.
Not only is it facing stagnant monthly active user growth, but the revenue generated from those users has disappointed a market accustomed to steady tech progression.

Twitter announced
that soon media (e.g., images, polls, videos) attached to tweets will
no longer count against your 140-character count. The same rule would
apply to the @handle when replying to someone else's tweet.
This update makes a couple of changes to the way replies and retweets
are handled. Users will no longer have to add a character prior to a
reply -- for example, ".@meghkeaney" -- to ensure their reply is seen by
all followers. Not to mention, users will be able to retweet their own
content if they want to add a thought to a previous post.
