It's abandoned, so still has 140 character DM limit etc. Also can't move the reply window outside of the main window which is a bit irritating. Was good in its day but that day was a couple of years ago now. My star rating is a bit unfair on it but I don't really think abandonware should be on here and people need to know it's no longer maintained.
