In case youโre living under a rock, Twitter made a pretty drastic change to the way we interact with each other on the popular social media app. Starting on Tuesday, Twitter users are now able to cram 280 characters into a tweet instead of the traditional 140.
We all know that feeling when you seven characters over the limit and you severely have to butcher your sentence structure in order to get your thoughts across. Some chose to do the multi-tweet where they label each tweet in chorological order.
But those days are long gone, unless you plan on writing an essay (why not just start a blog, in that case?).
So, without further to do, here are some of the best 280-character tweets weโve come across so far.
If you have any suggestions, tweet at us and weโll add them to the post.
Hello out there, we're on the air, it's hockey night tonight. Tension grows, the whistle blows and the puck goes down the ice. The goalie jumps and the players bump and the fans all go insane. Someone roars, "Bobby scores!", at the good ol' hockey game. #TSNHockey #280characters

And songs to Alma Mater raise
While our hearts rebounding thrill
With joy which death alone can still

The seasons pass, the years will roll
Time & change will surely show
How firm thy friendship, OHIO!#280characters pic.twitter.com/ntPFk1N9tW
