What is the Impact of Twitter’s New Strategy?

Every minute around 350, 000 tweets are sent. It’s a crisp and cool social media, highly effective to make an impact in the wide world web. The twitter sphere is a zone of subtlety with an intellectually awakened audience, high on creative ability of expression (and controversial remarks) limited to just 140 characters. The feeling of following the eminent celebrities and personalities is what makes Twitter different.
Enhanced Expressions: New Twitter Strategy
• Replies: With this new updated feature, @names will not be added to 140 character count while replying.
• Media Attachments like photos, links, GIFs, videos will not be counted as characters. This will be a cool thing for the users and brands to communicate more without the excessive stress on word count.
• Retweet & Quote-Tweet oneself: With the advent of this feature, the self won’t go unnoticed and this can be an effective step towards making the users practice self-centric and self-promotional practices to reach more people.
• Adieu .@: the tweets around usernames will be simplified. New tweets beginning with usernames will be displayed to all followers. For a reply to be seen by one’s followers, one can retweet it to indicate that it needs to be viewed more broadly.
