<description><![CDATA[Is it just me, or is the character count required for a DeSphinn completely inaccurate? Since twitter I've got pretty good at tailoring posts to 140 characters so the DeSphinn requirement of 50-200 chars should not be a problem. But today, I tried to DeSphinn some political noise (I didn't think it was spam, but it wasn't relevant) and constantly got errors that it was too long or too short.I am using Firefox 2.x on OS X if that's any help in tracking down the bug.

If this phenomenon goes worldwide, there will be huge implications for the SEO/SEM industry.Maybe written Japanese makes it harder to find snappy, memorable domain names.
