Thanks, Zach. These are all areas we're concerned about right now, so your feedback is definitely appreciated (and focused on the right spots). When you say up

  I've seen a few sites that used 250, and that seems like the sweet spot to me. It forces you to condense, but it gives you enough space to broadcast a thought.

  My pleasure, and feel free to hit me directly if you'd like feedback as revisions are implemented. As for the character limit, 300 is much more appropriate I think. It's a catch 22 in a way - journalists/bloggers theoretically want a lower limit with the hope that they will receive a succinct message. Businesses/flacks on the other hand, will be put off if they have to keep revising their thoughts over and over to fit them into such a small space. Personally, I might start with a limit of 500 characters but I'm likely in the minority. For comparison sake, this message is 593 characters.

    I would have said 500-1000. There's only so much you can convey in 3 sentences.
