Twitter just rolled out their biggest ever update wherein the microblogging site has decided to increase the 140 character limit to 280 characters from now on. This update is applicable to every user – meaning that every other person can now express a bit more than they have been doing since 2006.
This extension of character limits has garnered mostly positive review from fans as well as footballing clubs.
Here are some of the first tweets from footballing clubs after the new upgrade was rolled out:
Along with the Twitter update, Manchester United decided to make an update of their own:
With the introduction of #280characters, we are delighted to announce #DaveSaves will be extended to #DavidSaves. pic.twitter.com/S7PNq2Ip0S

But the United faithfuls did not take the change too well and the club swiftly decided to roll it back
Due to popular demand, we'll keep it as #DaveSaves! #280characters pic.twitter.com/trQis7ncLZ
