Why 280 Twitter characters won’t help keep marketing simple – MAF143

This week it’s just me and the mic.

And I’m going to talk about keeping things simple.

Twitter have just announced a trial to increase the size of a tweet from 140 to 280 characters. The world’s already flooded with complexity, bureaucracy, management speak mumbo jumbo and gobbledegook. Do we really need a social media famed for its brevity and simplicity to suddenly offer us the ability to be more complex?
