Change yourtext to whatever you want (make it more lengthy and use whatever language you want) and bang! The longest tweet created! It's working simply because of the validation error in the url shortening of t.co, I reckon! Hope this might be fixed very soon. But, until then you can make longest tweets after all! Happy tweeting.. oh. happy looongest tweeting!!
Actually you can make several t.co links and merge it together to post it on a tweet. Actually the tweet that this thread linked to have 5 links itself. Simply merging many t.co links with text can make the longest tweet and it works! And 50+ paragraphs is too much for a single URI anyway.
EDIT: Seems now Twitter has fixed the bug and only shows the t.co link not the text or exact URL in the tweet! No more longest tweets! Only t.co links.
Yes, that tweet actually uses five shorten t.co links which only return the text not the url as the user have made link with texts not url! Normally t.co shortened url get expanded automatically in the Twitter since they introduce the TweetButton. In this case, the text that shortened using t.co showing here! I guess there is no validation practices are not in place in terms of shortening using t.co.
I'm not sure why this is notable. You've long been able to post updates longer than 140 characters. They get truncated in the feed, but not when viewed individually.
Edit: icodemyownshit's explanation is likely correct. (I hadn't realized the tweet was just one big link.)
This one gives an error when I try to bring it up within his feed. I think it's different. Also, for that reason I wouldn't recommend retweeting it; you'll just break your friend's feeds.
Exactly, it's what got Twitter famous in the first place. I applaud their perseverence, it takes a good amount of will to stick to your guns and insist that you have made the right choice when everybody else is telling you otherwise.
Facebook has a 420-character limit on status updates, fwiw. Obviously more than 140-char, but I've been annoyed at times when I've wanted to post something more in the high-400s range.
Probably just the ADHD, but I find myself running past this limit all the time.
What really annoys me about it is that they don't limit the characters in the text box - you can happily paste a novel in there if you want. Just when you go to post, an error that you're over the limit (at least they do say by how much).
It's clear that they use JS on the box (if you don't wait for the page to load, the box won't auto-expand as you type) - why they don't implement a simple script to stop typing beyond the limit is beyond me...
>why they don't implement a simple script to stop typing beyond the limit is beyond me...
I'm thinking that once you've written out the text you seek some place to post it and so this sort of thing increases interactions on the site, after all you're already there - you make it into a message to several friends or start a page about it or whatever. Alternatively people put it on a blog and then link their blog into their profile in someway, again increasing the information available on that person, strengthening interactions and widening the link graph.
Because when I hit the limit I want to finish my sentence and then edit down to 140 characters, not be forced to edit down straight away and forget how I was going to finish my point.
I like twitter's solution of letting you type past 140 but giving you a visual indicator that you're over the limit (and a letter-count). Facebook gives you no feedback at all until you hit submit and get the "too long, jerk!" error message. Then you edit down a bit, try again, it's still 3 letters too long, etc.
I could see them not having a letter-count display shown by default (since most statuses are comfortably <420 chars), but it'd be nice if a "20 chars too long" thing appeared below the text box once you started typing too much.
Given that this was sent via the web, I'm guessing there was a trick or bug involved.
It is true that on twitter you can send more "data"/bits using unicode multi-byte as the twitter limit is 140 characters - regardless of byte length. But looking at this tweet, there are over 2000 characters.
Maximum status length, I thought, was 420 characters and max message length 140.
"It's like twitter or three years I have registered an account from the circle. In fact after registration on May 20, 2007, in the first POST "bean eating rice."

Ustream broadcast hosted by Arakawa Tomonori is reasonably popular, but always had a dozen listeners, Arakawa Tomonori considering that now because there were no bodies 思念 ID Integration with cherry and making several Maybe. As usual, one of Arakawa Tomonori called in when skype voice chat in the timeline. @ Okinao and did not agree, and chocolate pie @ Dawnsong was named as the shooter. I was still a mystery why this combination, and that so I will be meeting ー Yu net, there is surely inevitable that just does not know well I would have.
