Hi Friend,

The introduction of 4,000-character tweets has prompted some lively discussion and exciting use cases. For instance, my friend and Spaces co-host George Silverman is an avid adopter of longer tweets. We invited him on the Twitter Smarter chat to discuss the various options for long-form content on Twitter and what they mean for users. Be sure to check out our conversation in the Chat Recap.

Now here’s this week’s roundup.
