First, Twitter plans to disable @names from counting toward your character limit. This means you’ll be able to enter a @name and STILL have 140 characters left to express yourself.
Media attachments
How annoying is it when you craft an absolutely brilliant tweet only to be shunned by the platform as soon as you try uploading some type of media (pictures, videos, GIFs etc…)?
You can kiss that goodbye, friends, because according to the blog post, “media will no longer count as characters within your [tweet].”
Similar to @names, media links will no longer affect your 140-character limit once the updates are released
Retweets and quote tweets
Twitter is going to allow users to retweet themselves and quote their own tweets. Why? I’m not sure, but what I am sure of is Kanye West is going to love this nifty new feature.
Sherman explained,
We’ll be enabling the Retweet button on your own Tweets, so you can easily Retweet or Quote Tweet yourself when you want to share a new reflection or feel like a really good one went unnoticed.
Using ".@"
How annoying is it when you have to place a period right before your @ symbol when composing a tweet you want to broadcast to all of your followers?! It’s pretty annoying.
Well, you can kiss that goodbye, too!
The last update announced will allow Twitter users to just @ another user without having to place that ugly looking period before that other user’s Twitter handle.

New Tweets that begin with a username will reach all your followers. (That means you’ll no longer have to use the ‘.@’ convention, which people currently use to broadcast Tweets broadly.) If you want a reply to be seen by all your followers, you will be able to Retweet it to signal that you intend for it to be viewed more broadly.
