- trizic 10y agoSurely it has some hard cap, otherwise I can see this being abused (base64 dumps)
- andrewstuart2 10y agoNot sure what the appeal of inline base64 would be, though, over linking to a hosted file. Twitter is about sharing text, and arbitrarily long URLs mean mom and pop can achieve longer tweets by just adding http:// http:// and using dashes.
- Navarr 10y agonot really, considering it'll get truncated
- twic 10y agoApparently they still count data: URLs towards the limit.
- riboflava 10y agoWhat people actually do is write their long text, put it in an image, and tweet the image.
- spikej 10y agoHere's a way to do both: image and multiple tweets http://talltweets.com/ http://talltweets.com/
- neonnoodle 10y agoI tried that. It doesn't work. The character countdown appears to be letting you put in a long URL, but it rejects the tweet upon posting. Specifically I tried putting the first section of "A Tale of Two Cities" into URL form :-P
