Twitter Fail

I knew that Twitter was planning to increase the character limit for tweets from 140 to 280 but I thought it was yet to be rolled out to the majority of users. It came as some surprise to learn that it had been rolled out in early November of 2017. I regularly use the Twitter app on OS X for tweeting from my three Twitter accounts and had not noticed any change.

This is Twitter version 4.3.2 and so I naturally thought I'd forgotten to update. A check at the App store however, revealed that I had the latest version but it hadn't been updated since March 2017. What a joke! Anyway, I've now deleted the app and will open three separate browsers for my three separate accounts: Chrome for @SeanReeves, Safari for @BabaParvardigar and Firefox for @voodooguru1949. I could use Tweetdeck to handle the multiple accounts but I noticed that it hasn't been updated in quite a while so I'm not going to take the risk. I'll stick to browsers as much as possible now and eschew OS X apps.

UPDATE: I did finally download Tweetdeck in February of 2018 and have registered all three accounts. It seems to be working fine at the moment.
