Breaking the 140 char Limit in Twitter

Are you tried of twitting several messages when you wanted to write just a single long sentence or paragraph?

Well, today - by accident while copy-pasting - I found out that you can easily do that, and you don't require any special service that asks for your twitter login/password to bypass the 140 char limit in Twitter (and other micro blogging services.)

Just use a URL shortening service like tinyurl.com or is.gd (probably works in all others as well.)

As I was about to shorten a URL, I pasted a very long sentence to is.gd... and... surprise: it still worked!

Just click on this shortened url: http://is.gd/i4sM  and read its expanded version in your browser url input box.
Should read something like:

http://www.using url shortener services is a great way to send encrypted long messages in microblogging services./

The trick is to end the sentence with a "." - to fool the service into believing it's a valid URL.

I don't recommend that you use it a lot, but maybe it will come in handy some time...
(or at least, until they implement a better url validation scheme :)
