At the behest of countless #Twitter Users, Twitter is finally  at long last, relaxing its 140 character limit with a move it should have made years ago. Rolling out now: photos, videos, GIFs, polls, and Quote Tweets no longer count toward your 140 characters. You still only get 140 characters towards text messages and links, but adding quotes, polls, videos, or images will no longer reduce precious characters. Of course, Twitter likely worried about the implications of expending its character limit; the brevity of tweets has largely defined the social network’s character.
