"Note about DM fails: Your service provider may split SMS messages greater than 160 characters into multiple messages. In this case, the second message will post as a normal Tweet because it doesn't begin with d+username, as the first message did. Please be careful to ensure that your messages are under 160 characters."
That could certainly be interesting.

- CaveTech 11y agoMagically aligning a perfect string at a 160 character offset, and somehow have it being a user who would have any idea about what you're discussing? A total non-problem.

- SmellyGeekBoy 11y agoBizarre edge case with a non-zero chance of happening? Someone will inevitably stumble across it...
- jccalhoun 11y agoreminds me of the shitty email filter the school I taught at back in the late 90s used. It would filter out curse words but it ignored spaces so if you typed something like "push it" is would see "sh it" and delete those letters. It rendered your emails basically unreadable.
