When we try to publish ‘What’s happening?’ on the micro-blogging website Twitter then we can write only 140 characters and if I attach an image to my tweet then the limit further decreases to 117 characters only.
This is a very common problem of Twitter users and there is no official solution provided but still there is one way of tweeting longer than 140 characters.
Tweet longer than 140 characters, but how?
In order to tweet longer than 140 characters you’ve to use a dedicated tool or service provided by few particular websites. There are lots of websites available on internet which provides such feature and you’re going to find out the best of these websites here.
How these websites work?
This may be a question in your mind and I’m going to clear that first. These websites let you write tweet of longer length than allowed by Twitter and when you publish your tweet then these websites takes few characters from starting and then provide a link to your complete tweet.
The concept is simple and using it you can tweet longer than usual. Those who want to read your complete tweet can click on the link mentioned in your tweet and they will be redirected to a webpage having the complete story.
How to do this? Step by Step guide
Follow these simple steps,
- Visit website.
- You’ll find link or button over there labeled as ‘Sign in with Twitter’.
- Now official twitter will ask you to authorize this particular app to access certain details of your account. You’ll be asked to login into your Twitter account if you’re not login before.
- You’ll be redirected back to the website once you authorize it and then you can type in tweet of longer length.
- At last, simply hit the button (labeled as Post or something similar) to publish the tweet.
3 Websites I found Genuine
As internet is full of spam so you need to use genuine websites only providing this service. You’ll find a lot of other websites too providing the same feature but using them may result in your twitter account getting hacked.
The 3 website I’ll recommend you are,
1. TwitLonger

The clean UI is the base of its popularity and the method I’ve described above in the step by step guide is particularly the method of using TwitLonger to tweet more than 140 characters on Twitter. I’m sure you’re definitely going to find this website easy.
2. Tall Tweets
Tall Tweets is a web application developed by the founder of labnol.org, Mr. Amit Agarwal and it works almost in the same way as above website, TwitLonger works. It not just allows you to share tweet but you can publish the image of your tweet so that your tweet don’t get any link. In the text format it doesn’t publish link to any webpage rather it just separates the long tweet into parts while each part is either equal or shorter than 140 characters. You can watch the video mentioned down here to watch method illustrated by the developer, Amit.
