Twitter users respond to #280characters rollout: 'All we wanted was an edit button'

All users now get twice as many characters per tweet, and it's fair to say the response has been mixed

Twitter has officially unleashed its 280 character count to the masses.

The social media platform had originally selected only a small number of accounts to test the longer feature. However, it announced on Tuesday that it would expand the character limit from 140 characters to 280 for all of its users.
