Chrissy Teigen swears she'll never use Twitter's new 280-character limit
Twitter just doubled its upper character limit, and not everyone's psyched.
Especially hardcore tweeter Chrissy Teigen, who posted a "fight song" refusal to ever use, favorite, or retweet any 280-character tweets.
The American model, TV host and cookbook author tweeted this to her 8.3 million followers on Tuesday:
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
Them's fightin' words alright--words we're not 100 percent sure she'll stick to, but hey, we like the enthusiasm.
Teigen's Twitter presence is formidable — her live tweeting of a naked British dating show is a surefire highlight — so her protest is significant. Teigen's not new to publicly slamming new tech features either, recently dubbing the iPhone X's Animoji as "too Black-Mirror-y."
But nevertheless, Twitter's new character count has landed, so whether Teigen's going to favorite your tweet or not, here's 16 different ways to use 280 characters on Twitter.
