A lack of character

Here’s one for the likes of Yahoo! and even our favorite Google.

Why do you allow users to enter more than 200 characters when you don’t allow any more than that?

Average guys like me have to take it to the word editor and bang their heads before reducing their life story to a couple of sentences.

I’ve learnt my lesson the hard way over and over again. I guess I’m just too trusting to believe that the four sentences I’ve put into that text box will be less than 200 characters.

At least its not just Pakistani businesses that can make customers like me go red in the ears a bit. It even includes companies that don’t be evil.
