Clever. Witty. Creative. How Brands Reacted to Twitter’s expanded 280 Characters limit!
Twitter recently announced the increase in the 140 character limit to 280 Characters. This goes for all languages where cramming isn’t a big issue, and the brands are euphoric about this fresh development.
Some brands that are going all out with this newfound Twitter liberty are:

Finally got #280characters. Now, we will make full use of it by including commas, semi commas, apostrophes in the right places. We promise that we will make better tweets with the 280 limit. What a wonderful time to be alive.
You are still reading this, aren't you?
