Why is that so when others generate leads even when they have no such budget or a great writing style?

#4. Twitter activates conversation mode with customizable Hashtags

This is something that marketers have been waiting for since a long time. Twitter’s latest feature “conversational” ad unit allows users to personalize and share marketer’s messages.

These are not much different from Twitter’s promoted tweets. Conversational Ad units are more like a poll question. Users can take part in these polls by choosing from the more than one hashtags that are available. Also, this kind of ensures a healthy interaction between the marketers and people.

5.) Again we have awesome news as Twitter thinks of extending its character limit

Now you can consider tweeting longer messages. The traditional 140-character long messages are soon going to die. Going to get replaced with a much massive character strength of something not less than 1000.

Twitter is yet to make an official statement of the improvisation. But, let us keep our fingers crossed while we wait to get our hands on the magical strength of words.
