Hi. I dont think the syntax is right for what you are trying to do. The window.open() syntax is as follows: window.open (URL, windowTitle); Combining this into one string as you have done causes all this to be interpreted as a parameters to Twitter status method, which is not what you intended.

Shouldn't be a problem unless there is some Twitter bug. Twitter should handle everything utf-8 as long as within 140 char limit. I tried the following without problems: [original url] http://twitter.com/home?status=Currently reading on Webgrrls:ü ü ü ü ü [encoded url] http://twitter.com/home?

This is the new intended behaviour from what I have been told. All tweets > 140 in length will be silently ignored. I'm guessing they don't throw an error here yet to not break any existing clients until they have upgraded. Eventually I'm sure we will be some sort of 400 error in the future. For n

[twitter-dev] Re: 401 Unauthorized -- user_timeline -- using Numeric ID

If you try to pull a protected users' timeline w/o authentication then it will throw a 401. You can confirm whether a user id is valid by trying to call: http://twitter.com/users/show.xml?id={insert_id_here} users/show will throw a 404 on a non existent user. -Chad On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 1:43
