The update hasn’t been well received. As way of protesting the death of 140 characters, Twitter users sresponded to the update by tweeting silly.
@KingAbsolute foretold it.

And look what happened:
i wake up and stare at my asian eyes with animosity, wishing they were blue, i tie my hair up with a chopstick and wash my face with kimchi. then i go to kitchen cook my dog for breakfast but not before turning on the radio to listen to gangnam style, the song of my people https://t.co/pQbuiUeaSI

David alighted from the bus.
'This Lagos will soon kill me', he thought to himself.
He was bleary as fuck so he stopped at the roadside fried foods vendor's kiosk.'give me akara 50, bread 150 and that 80 fish'
She hands him his order.
'How much be my money?'
'280', she says.

140 Characters was a training in disciplined, concise thought conveyance. It sharpened the mind & eliminated undue verbosity. RIP

Small 280 characters and see how we are misbehaving. What will happen when we have 24/7 electricity then?

280 characters? Who needs that? If you can't fit your communist propaganda into 140 characters, then go back to communist propaganda school.
