twitter blue subscribers can now make 4000-character tweets

Twitter has added a new longer tweet feature, allowing paid subscribers to utilize 4,000 characters per post. If someone you follow uses the feature, your timeline will now display a “show more” button on their post to prevent the tweet from taking up an entire screen.

Currently, this new feature has a couple of limitations (aside from the fact you’ll need to pay for a Blue subscription to unlock it). If a tweet is longer than the standard 280 characters, it can’t be saved as a draft or scheduled for later. However, most other regular features should work as normal, including hashtags and pictures. In addition, non-Blue subscribers will still be able to interact with the posts as expected.

As well as writing 4,000-character Tweets, Twitter Blue subscribers will also be able to quote, retweet and reply with the same number of keystrokes, with the “show more” button hopefully preventing timelines from becoming clogged with multiple huge essays.

Elon Musk has been promising to add longer tweets for some time, also mentioning that company developers were working on adding custom formatting to posts, including bolding words and changing font size.

Twitter’s current 280-character limit was set back in 2017, replacing the original 140-character posts that made the platform famous. So what exactly will a 4,000 character tweet look like on screen? Well, this article runs to 1,500 characters, so as you can imagine, there’s plenty of potential for some truly epic rants to be unleashed!

uae prepares to launch two satellites thuraya-2 and mbz-sat

HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, chaired the first meeting of the Supreme Space Council in Dubai on December 16, 2024. The session highlighted the UAE’s ambitious space plans and took stock of the sector’s economic progress.

The council emphasized the growing role of private companies in advancing space technologies, noting that their contributions are now equal to that of the public sector. Members also praised initiatives like the Space Economic Zones Programme, which are designed to fuel innovation and investment in the space industry.

Discussing the UAE’s space journey, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum remarked, “The national space sector continues to grow and advance, and we take immense pride in the remarkable achievements we have accomplished over the years”.

Sheikh Hamdan also received updates on two upcoming satellite projects: Thuraya-2 and MBZ-SAT. Thuraya-2, developed by Space42, is slated for launch this December. Meanwhile, the MBZ-SAT, created by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), will soon follow. MBRSC, a major driver of the UAE National Space Programme, continues to lead the nation’s space-related developments.

Space42 took the opportunity to showcase its advancements, including ongoing collaborations between public and private entities. The company also outlined strategies to promote innovation, boost revenue streams, and create new opportunities for growth in the sector.

The UAE’s current projects build on a growing legacy of space exploration. Back in 2020, the nation made headlines with its Mars mission, successfully sending a probe into the planet’s orbit in 2021. This mission, which is now in its second phase as of June 2024, has been collecting critical data to develop a comprehensive diurnal image of Mars.

The UAE also ventured into lunar exploration with an unmanned mission aimed at studying untouched regions of the Moon’s surface. While the probe ultimately crashed during its landing attempt after communication was lost seconds before touchdown, the effort represented a significant step in the country’s exploration ambitions.
