One of the very few irritating things about Twitter is the limit of 140 characters per tweet. It becomes extremely hard especially when you try to share a link with your Twitter friends. So what to do? Just break the rules ;)

Below are the 5 ways to tweet more than 140 characters every time!

1. TinyPaste
