@stop Also, 140?!? How the hell did we (users) manage that for so long? I had trouble fitting some of these concise memories into 280 characters.

@stop So much for brevity. Apparently 140/280 character bursts hasn’t limited my ability to ramble on and on when it comes to things I’m passionate about.

@gregminton I *think* it’s because for as many illegitimate cases you find, there are many more legitimate cases w/ exact same stats.

@stop The status update field included the 140-character countdown to keep you aware of how much space you had left. Max length of 140, because status updates were originally delivered through SMS, which had a limit of 160 characters, minus room for the 15-char username plus spaces.
