Ciao Thomas The Twitter API is not fussy whatever rubbish you put in the box :-) you will have to ruthlessly reduce it to 140. For Twitter the only special formatting worth having it supports is line breaks, which you already done. You know all this anyway.
Your other threads that deal with "extraction" could support the standard way of dealing with Twitter's character limit. I.e. Tiddlers be written to have an initial demarcated short Summary text that would also constitute the Tweeted part. That's an author's job familiar with that network knowing if they don't they will have hassle when it comes to post-time :-). That is a methodology I could use for a film site I so far developed off-line for TW. The ADVANTAGE of that approach is it means I don't have to mess around with extra fields. The text is one and the selection for posting depending on the particular network. I very much like the whole approach of extracting from the Tiddler text field. I don't actually write into umpteen fields. The structure emerges IN writing, not through slots. I write text and its easy for me to think and write: this is the "Summary" bit, this is the "Mid-Section" and this is the "Whole Tamoli". I hope this is clear? Anyway, for me there is a kinda intuitive fit with some of your recent work that I can already see I can use.
