We wanted flyings cars, all we got was flying Ubers and a Chrome extension that blocks tweets longer than 140 characters.

Great product. I've been enjoying the character backlash on Twitter, so this seems like the perfect response @elgreg could you tell us how the truncating part works where 140 limits other people's tweets to? How does it avoid losing any meaning?
Arun
@elgreg @abadesi It does lose meaning. There's absolutely no workaround here. Splitting a 280 tweet into two 140 tweets will occupy the same real estate on the display anyway. I don't get the outrage over #280characters. :)

I also love this copy on the product's description. "Eventually (in an hour?) Twitter will find a way to circumvent our extension, we’re sure. The army of progress marches forever forward, burning everything good in the world and salting the earth behind it. But for now, use Slate’s 140 to make Twitter great again." Being brutally honest and funny! :D
