Best Buy is taking $100 off the Moto 360 when you buy it with any Android smartphone

There aren’t likely to be many people in the market for both a new smartphone and a Moto 360, but if you are then Best Buy has the sale you’ll want to take advantage of. The company is taking 0 off the combination of said purchases, so long as they’re on the same receipt.

The sale lasts until April 18th, otherwise there aren’t many other gotchas to be had — it’s in-store only, and applicable whether you’re buying a smartphone on contract or for full price. Be sure to call into your local Best Buy stores to make sure they have the exact phone and Moto 360 you want in stock before heading out.

Twitter is finally taking messaging more serious, will remove 140 character limit for DMs in July

We’re hoping this is just the first of many new changes coming to Twitter since appointing a new CEO. The decision to remove the 140 character limit from DMs (direct messages) may not be related to a new CEO, but it’s a welcome change none the less. Twitter has long imposed a 140 character limit when posting anything — even direct messages — creating an unique challenge for those looking to share links to articles and videos.

One could argue that the boom of short URLs on the internet sprouted out from these restrictions as Twitter grew into one of the biggest social networks in the world. But now with the world moving over to actual messaging services like Messenger, WhatsApp and Snapchat, it’s time for Twitter to start taking messaging more seriously.

We imagine it’s only a matter of time before Twitter launches some sort of stand-alone messaging service. It wouldn’t be too far fetched what with the purchase of services like Vine or Periscope. Twitter will remove the 140 character limit for users starting in July and if you’re a developer, you can read up more on what this means for you and your 3rd party Twitter apps via the link below.
