Was that over twitter? 140 characters is very restrictive.
Ain't like we're limited to 140 characters...
Well, Twitter only allows 140 characters, so...
Well, the 140 characters might be a limitation factor (although it helps being concise ...)
because twitter limits you to 140 characters of input.
which proves that having more than 140 chars is overrated anyways.
"I dislike being limited to only 140 characters when trying to convey my thoughts and ideas, so I've never really been a fan of Twitter." <-135 characters (+conveys the same info)
You can't expect people to read more than 140 characters.
Looks like sometimes that 140 character limit is a problem.
How come 280 characters isn't good enough. Or really should have done it in 140 as they intended...
