Facebook posts get upgraded to support over 60,000 characters

         yes, you have read it right. Now Facebook ups the character limit to above 60000 !!

    This is really Hugh. You can now post long stories and even a novel in nine posts. I rarely write the blog post of this length. Now I am thinking to shift my blog to Facebook(just joking!!). But can you guess why this 63,206 has been chosen. Take a try. Got? Don't worry I tell you.

           Facebook = Face Boo K => hex(FACE) – K => 64206 – 1000 = 6320.

         This is not first time when Facebook has raised its bar over its post length. For your information I must tell you that once Facebook had just 160 characters for the users to offer.

Then in march 2009, it upgraded to 420 characters. Again in July this year Facebook raised the character limit to 500 which again exploded to get 5000 characters two months later in September 2011. And now it crosses over 60,000, as announced yesterday.

         Facebook is trying to add all sorts of possible features to keep users engage and can refrain then to go for Google+. After the launch of Google+, Facebook has added video chat, revamped its interface, improved friend list, added In-line privacy control and expanded the post's boundary.

        But do you know where is Google+ in the race of providing better word count limit for the posts ? Its still far ahead of Facebook. Google+ claims to provide no limit on the word count for the posts. The interesting battle is going on. No matter who wins, but the profit will come to the users. Lets wait and watch for the new offering from the two beasts of Social Networking and keep enjoying the products coming out of their battle....
