WHAT SOCIAL MEDIA MEANS TO ME
Potentially earth-shattering news!!! (Just kidding.) This week, Twitter announced that they are removing the 140-character limit from their direct messages – I’ll be honest, on hearing this, I was not immediately blown away. Apparently this is a big deal and is going to change the way we use Twitter; but my instant reaction could definitely be described as ‘apathetic with a hint of sarcastic side eye’.
And then I realised - HOLD ON - this is going to change the way we use Twitter. Of course! It’s going to be less annoying! This should be a good thing but is actually a bit of a disaster. Allow me to explain. DMs have always been wonderful in their levels of irritation due to one simple phrase…
‘Annoying to chat on here, text me 07*********.’
