Hi there,

The API wiki (http://apiwiki.twitter.com/REST+API+Documentation) shows that the maximum size of 30 characters in the description of the update_profile method. There is currently a bug where it allows longer data and then after a day or so truncates it (http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=315 ). I have a fix ready and am hoping to get it deployed today.

Thanks;

I want to ensure that I am caching the entire location string ...

I'd like to know that too.

The Location field seems to get truncated after a certain number of
characters, but not immediately.

I've put in a long Location and had it work for awhile and then
suddenly I notice that it's been shortened.  I'm not sure if this is
due to some app that I'm using which is truncating it or if Twitter
does.

If it is Twitter it seems strange that it works for awhile.

FWIW
