Twitter to stop counting user names, images and links in 140 characters

25 May, 2016
Ever since day one, Twitter always counted everything within the text box in its 140 character limit. This meant that if you were replying to someone their user names would eat up part of your 140 characters. Similarly, if you included a URL or uploaded a picture, the link will also take up part of the 140 characters.
