Here I am, trying to have a discussion with a friend And lemme tell you, we could go into so much more detail but flippin' Twitter says Noooooooooo 160 characters. *Rant Over*
Isn't Twitter 140? EDIT: It's 140 because the mobile text-message limit is 140 (for us here in the UK at least).
How about this...pick up the phone and just call them. Yeah, I know it's old fashioned but it still works (unless you're using an AT&T iPhone).
