Leave it to Twitter to spend almost a year testing a new feature only to have everyone instantly hate it.
That's what happened with the service's latest update, which changes replies (http://mashable.com/2017/03/30/twitter-replies-character-count-changes/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) so they don't count against the platform's 140-character limit.
SEE ALSO: Yeah, Twitter's watching you even when you're **t tweeting (http://mashable.com/2017/03/06/twitter-algorithms-targeting/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial)
On its face, that sounds like a good thing — you're able to get a few extra characters in for the actual tweet, rather than wasting space on users' handles. But, once again, Twitter's execution missed the mark — despite the fact they've been testing the feature for almost a full year (http://mashable.com/2016/09/19/twitter-longer-tweets/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial).
