Now Twitter users have 280 characters per tweet, there’s plenty of space to expound complex theories and philosophies on any number of topics.
Or you can just do this.
280 characters means we can now go…

In possibly the best use of 280 characters so far, Manchester City looked back to 2012, the Sergio Aguero goal that won them the title and the famous Martin Tyler commentary that went with it.
Even with 280 characters, that might not quite be enough OOOOOOOOOOOOs.
But it’s fair to say the City fans enjoyed it.
@NathanMJ22 worth the character limit increase

City weren’t the only team playing a social media blinder on 280 day.
Their tweet was matched by one from the extravagantly named German side Borussia Monchengladbach.
Dear @Twitter. Thank you for giving us all #280characters. Our club name can finally be expressed in its full glory.

And a tip of the cap to the National Basketball Referees Association, which had a somewhat optimistic take on the development.
Now that we all have #280Characters, we expect your Twitter complaints about specific calls against your favorite teams to be calm, well-reasoned, and full of complete sentences. Thanks in advance for this positive step forward in basketball officiating-related discourse."

And then there was this.
"Carlos Brathwaite! Carlos Brathwaite! REMEMBER THE NAME! History for the West Indies! What a match we've had here at Eden Gardens. 24 from 4 deliveries and the West Indies win by 4 wickets in 2016, Marlon Samuels, take a bow as well!" @irbishi #280characters pic.twitter.com/ov6XmmwdgE
