The question of collapsing posts that are longer than 500 characters isn't an easy one. And your post does raise - in a way - the issue of content vs. flow.

Where twitter is "flow", blogspot is "content". And chum.ly is right in the middle, being both and neither. Perhaps we'll simply have to evaluate the 500 limit for a day or two. Get the feel for it. Then we'll see if we need to push that limit either way or think differently.

I'm getting close to 500 chrs now, and there's still plenty of room left until I start pushing people offscreen. Is there perhaps a way to set the limit according to the size of the post instad. A max number of lines, perhaps? (15?) Or perhaps set the limit so that when the post overflows the editing frame (i.e. where you write your posts - I'm not sure about the correct term), it gets "cut" there when posting?
