Last time we demonstrated how to create a twitter web client which helps to post messages to 'twitter' from the comfort of your Excel worksheet. Now twitter allows only 140 characters including spaces to be posted. Is there an easy way to ensure that you don't type text greater than 140 characters. Yes! You can use the simple 'len(text)' function and ensure that the characters are less than 140 before posting. The Excel training video demonstrates how this is done.
