Given Twitter’s popularity, it comes as no surprise that endless tools and apps are released for unleashing added firepower. Some are more successful (or rather better-accepted) than others, but in many cases the same question surfaces – is Twitter still Twitter with those add-ons, or is it a different entity?
A service like this one makes that question gain more relevance than ever.
What Maxitweet does is to let you send longer tweets. These “maxitweets” can have up to 200 characters. Granted, it is not an exponentially bigger number, but it makes a difference all the same.
Using this resource entails no difficulty at all. You just type in the message in the box that is provided, set a compression ratio, and then hit the “Post to Twitter” button. My question is, does the fact of “posting” something to Twitter turn it into a tweet when the actual number of characters is different? That is obviously an academic discussion, but one that could fuel some interest social media debates. How much should the concept of tweeting open itself up? I am more of a traditionalist myself, but I am keen on listening to other people’s concepts.
