Twitter workarounds give anyone 280 characters to play with




Twitter is currently conducting a trial of a platform that will double its character count—from its default of 140 up to 280. Only a select few will have access to the new feature, but those who don’t may be able to gain access if they’re willing to tweak their browser. Some enterprising users have found several workarounds that will double the tweet character count in creative ways.

  • User @ErrataRob posted one of the techniques (via @dildog), which involves meddling with the Chrome browser. As you can tell from the thread above, this method requires a bit of legwork. But, there is an easier way.
  • Twitter user @prof9 tweeted a link to a Tampermonkey script for Chrome that's much easier to set up, and offers the same result: Longer tweets. To get it working, first install Tampermonkey, and then head to this Github repository and click the raw button to install the script. Be sure to enable it in Tampermonkey, and then hit up Twitter.com and tweet away. All the current methods floating around are related to the Twitter web client. And, you'll probably have to be quick, as Twitter is likely scrambling to find a fix.
My opinion on this is that

What examples are provided from the two texts of the 'male gaze' (Mulvey)? When Beyonce is posing for the camera, there is a sense that although there is a hidden message, there is an invitation for the male gaze. outfits’.  The self-conscious approach that the music video does allows Beyoncé to be objectified, welcoming the male gaze.  However, it also avoids feminist criticism through this use of parody and humour; this is not criticised due to the reputation of Beyonce. Do texts such as these show there is no longer a need for feminism or are they simply sexism in a different form?
