If you never tried pushing down a huge number of words down your facebook status then here is a restriction you must know if you ever thought of trying it.
If you don’t know, Facebook has some restrictions for updating its Facebook status. You cannot type in more than 420 characters as an update. Thankfully this is 3 times more than Twitter’s character limit of 140 per tweet. If you try updating more than 420 characters, you will be greeted with an error.
Thanks Keith!
You may find this tip useful. I found it on the Internet but have not tried it yet.
How to post beyond the character limit on Facebook
• Step 1
Post a picture without typing anything in the status and click “share”. Your picture should post.
• Step 2
Once the picture or image posts, then click on the image. When you get to that page, click “edit this photo” option (look down a bit under the photo on the right of the page to find this).
• Step 3
Once at the edit page, you can now type as much as you want into the edit box beyond the 420 characters limit! Then Click “save changes”. You will then see an alert saying that your changes have been saved. When you go to your wall or home page, all will be able to read your post entirely by clicking “see more”.

Thank you for writing about this. There’s a bunch of good tech information on the internet. You’ve got a lot of that info here on your website. I’m impressed – I try to keep a couple blogs pretty live, but it’s a struggle sometimes. You’ve done a big job with this one. How do you do it?
