How should ping.fm post large twitter messages!
We all know twitter has ridiculous limit of 160 characters (just because mobile status updation!) but for people like me, who update status through IM and post more than 160 characters for any post, why doesnt Ping.fm behave intelligently and push initial part (may be first 140 chars) of original story and later a hyper link to entire story which leads users to a page on ping.fm which displays entire story (can even be 1000 characters!)

Inappropriate?Just for the sake of example, take a look at,

Instead of that, I would love it, if I get the post like,
If you have a gold chain with seven links. You need to hire an assistant at a fee of one gold link per day for seven days. Each day, the assistant needs to be paid for his or her services.. (more at http://ping.fm/38s3e)
The current twitter post is useless (in most cases!)
Having said all these, I already know.. twitter is meant for status update which are not expected to be more than 160 chars, but sometimes systems turn out to be useful for more means than its originally designed for! Just 2 cents from a user! :) -
Inappropriate?The reason ping.fm doesn't do that is because they do not have the framework to do that. You can just post have of your message and then post the other half is my recommendation. Plus if it pushed only the first 140 you may have something important later on.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?On the contrary, this would be an excellent addition. I will present this to everyone and get it pushed out. I like this idea a lot.
