data-end-time='20167'>Other changes will affect how tweets can be sent and who will see them.</span> <span data-start-time='20167' data-end-time='34313'>Twitter permits only 140 characters in a tweet, including letters, numbers, web addresses, images, spaces, and #hashtags.</span> <span data-start-time='34313' data-end-time='41125'>The limit on characters can make it difficult to say something
