adding letter count

[GoogleCodeExporter]

twitter doesn't accept messages with size more then 140letters. so we need to 
prompt users if message size is more then 140.

it would be better if we could add letter count, so that users can see how much 
letters they have left/used as they type message.

Letter count will work but how would one handle parameters in the message?

good point. 

how about splitting message and doing several updates?
