I'm working on my WOTwitter tutorial and I have a question about the design. I 
think the tutorial should have two re-usable component : one to upload the new 
post, and the other to show the older tweets. So I have made a 
ERXTwitterNewPostComponent component that have :

 - A AjaxUpdateContainer component that have a string who shows the number of 
chars typed (just like the Web Twitter client on twitter.com)
 
 - A WOText component to hold the content of the new post

 - A AjaxObserveField component to update the chars count

 - A AjaxSubmitButton to call an method

This is working fine, but the question I have is about the action called by the 
submit button. What I was about to do is to use performParentAction so that the 
actual submit to Twitter is done in the parent. Why? Because you might need to 
do something else with the content, in my case I'm calling bit.ly API to 
transform any URLs found in the content to a shorter URL.

If you were using such a component, how would use it? I do plan to give back to 
the community.
