How to tweet in 280 characters

Twitter just rolled out its most-awaited feature. Soon, Twitterati will be able to post longer tweets — up to 280 characters. At the moment, it is being tested with access to limited users only.

But there’s a workaround to try this new limit right away.

If you don’t want to wait, check out the steps below to post tweets using the 280-character update.

No need to install any apps or extensions in your browser. Just copy/paste the code.

Here are the instructions:

1. Open Tweetdeck at tweetdeck.twitter.com.
2. Open browser settings, hover over the More Tools(in Chrome) and select the Developer tools or Ctrl+Shift+I
3. Click Sources and then click on the Snippets.
4. Once you open Snippets, click on the ‘New Snippet’ button and copy/paste the following code into the empty window on the right.

   TD.services.TwitterClient.prototype.makeTwitterCall=function(b,e,f,g,c,d,h){c=c||function(){};d=d||function(){};b=this.request(b,{method:f,params:Object.assign(e,{weighted_character_count:!0}),processor:g,feedType:h});return b.addCallbacks(function(a){c(a.data)},function(a){d(a.req,"",a.msg,a.req.errors)}),b};
   twttrTxt=Object.assign({},twttr.txt,{isInvalidTweet:function(){return!1},getTweetLength:function(){return twttr.txt.getTweetLength.apply(this,arguments)-140}});
