Long Tweet Is Long: Bug Let You Go Way Over 140

Late last night Japanese Twitter user @sskhybrid tweeted out the following 2,135 character tweet, which was inevitably retweeted by more than 100 people. Translated it seems to be a jumbled version of his experiences using Twitter.

User @esehara has also jumped on the long tweet bandwagon tweeting out Genesis 1:1 in its entirety (3,157 characters). The Twitter bug which has left many befuddled is exploiting a length limit flaw/feature in the new t.co URL shortener, which allows users to tweet out links of outrageously more than 140 characters.
