Everyone in my Twitter feed is talking about how Twitter won't count photos and links against the character limit

Twitter will stop counting links and images against its traditional 140-character limit, according to a new report from Bloomberg's Sarah Frier. It should be happening soon.

It's all my Twitter feed has been able to talk about since the news broke.

This is a great news for Twitter users!

Unfortunately, my entire Twitter feed is full of journalists, techies, and coastal elites who are already addicted to the service. Those aren't the people Twitter needs to please in order to turn things around and take on the Snapchats and Instagrams and other social networks that have the rest of the world's attention.

But hey, at least it'll be easier for people to tweet about using Twitter now.
