This doesn't actually make sense though, since links always counted for 23-25 characters. So while this tools is cool, in that it makes custom URLs as long as you like, it actually works right now exactly the same way it will work when Twitter makes the change, as URLs, no matter how long they are right now, are capped at 23-25 characters.

@nivo0o0 yeah, the one wrinkle is if Twitter allows for longer links to be posted and fully seen in tweets to complement the new rules. Not sure this is going to happen, but I thought it would be amusing to imagine what could happen if it did.

@_maxdeutsch @nivo0o0 Solution: chunk long tweets as multiple 23-25 character links :) ...?

@nivo0o0 Exactly, not sure why anyone would think differently. Its just a nice way for Twitter to give us back 23-25 extra characters to write stuff like: LOL or #keytosuccess or #GIFs4LYF

@matt_sven @nivo0o0 this was my first thought. but the end result wasn't as pretty (of course, it may be the only thing that ends up working, so...)

I respect your time that you spent on this project but I really don't understand why people tries to abuse some other product. Regards.

This is awesome, but hopefully Twitter will ban this soon... ;) Don't want this getting in the hands of the wrong people 🙃

@gabriel__lewis totally. Hopefully by bringing this possibility up now (before it can actually work), Twitter can prepare accordingly (assuming this was ever going to work).

Twitter announced that it will no longer count links in its 140-character limit (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/ar...). Therefore, if you disguise your Tweets as links, you can write Really Long Tweets. With this in mind, I had a little fun and quickly put together a simple web app to do just that. Let me know what you think! BTW: Although this change to Twitter has been reported on, the update hasn't yet been released. This means your "Really Long Tweets" won't work yet. But soon... maybe

Why don't you use my product to create an image which allows you to write a long text as an image. which you can post to twitter.

This is silly. We all know that links on Twitter will be truncated no matter what. There are products that actually work on this site that people can upvote.
