Character limits and shortening out of date #60

Open reagle opened 10 years ago

reagle commented 10 years ago

For two years now Twitter shortens and wraps all URLs via its t.co service. Hence the "max length 140" is no longer appropriate and the URL shortening is redundant. The size limit should be tested via: if len(everything_but_URL) + 20 > 140.
