Twitter To Soon Drop Media Attachments And More From 140 Character Limit

Twitter has announced that it will be making a number of expected changes to simplify tweets over the coming months. First, when replying to a tweet, Twitter handles will no longer count toward the 140 character limit. Media attachments, like photos, GIFs, videos, polls, and Quote Tweets, will also no longer be counted. Also, new non-reply tweets that begin with a username will now reach all of a user's followers, eliminating the need to use the ".@" convention to broadcast a tweet widely. Last but not least, Twitter users will be able to Retweet and Quote Tweet their own tweets. What do you think of these Twitter changes ? 

UPDATE 9/13/16 - Twitter has announced that on September 19 the character limit will be extended
