Twitter takes next step in evolution, drops photos and videos from character limit

Twitter将要走出发展历程中的下一步，继开放字符限制后又将允许发送图片和视频

Twitter is making some big changes, at least in the context of 140 characters or less. The social media service said Tuesday that in coming months, photos, videos and other media won’t count toward Twitter’s 140-character limit. That means more wordy tweets are on the way. The change, announced Tuesday, is yet another attempt by the San Francisco company to make its messaging service easier to use and to attract new users.

Twitter正发生着一些巨大的改变关于最多只能发送140个字符的限制。有媒体报道说在即将到来的下个月周二Twitter将不会在将字符数限制在140以内，并且会开放图片和视频功能。这意味着更多的字数的推特正在路上。这些改变将在周二宣布，旧金山公司曾经做过这样的尝试，为了让他们的信息服务更加方便使用并吸引新的用户。

A few simple changes to make conversations on Twitter easier! And no more removing characters for images or videos!

一些简单的改变将会让Twitter的交流更加方便！同时也不会移除图片和视频所带的文字！

Twitter did not, as many had speculated in recent months, abolish its character limit. A person’s Twitter handle, which starts with the “@” symbol, will also not count against character limits. And people will be able to retweet and quote their own tweets. In another change, any new tweet beginning with an “@” name will be seen by all followers. Twitter has tried to keep all users happy, those for and against relaxing character limits, by sticking to the current count while allowing more freedom to express thoughts, or rants, through images and other media. Above all, Twitter Inc. hopes that the changes will reignite user growth.

最近几个月一直有人推断Twitter不会废除它的字符数限制。一个Twitter用户发现当他以@符号开头时不会被计入字符数限制。人们将能够转推和引用自己的twitter.一些其他的改变,任何以@开头的新twitter将会被所有的粉丝看见,Twitter尝试让所有的用户满意,因为有一部分用户反对twitter放弃字符限制,现在的字符限制将会允许用户更自由的发表观点和评价通过图片或其他的媒体手段,这一切,都是Twitter公司为了增加用户的数量.
