Just two days following the surprise announcement that Twitter would be doubling the character count (http://mashable.com/2017/11/07/twitter-280-character-limit-expansion/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) allowed per tweet, the San Francisco-based company is back with another update — and you'd better believe it's about yet even more characters. That's right, as of Nov. 9, your display name can be more than twice as long as the old rules allowed.*

"Go ahead, add that middle name or even a few more emojis." Read more...
