Right now, Twitter does not work if the post is over 140 characters. I've corrected this locally by truncating the main message and adding a '..more' to the end of the tweet. The string could be user-defined.
I can add this code to the devel or alpha version. I'll need a little mentoring on git, have not worked on a project simultaneously with other users.

A problem with this is that if you e.g. add a full URL the Twitter API will truncate the URL, thus allowing for tweets that are much longer than 140 characters. We really ought to have some sort of AJAX preview of the tweet and truncate it to 140 chars. I've added #2548057: Add an AJAX preview of what the tweet would look like to cover the preview, lets postpone this one until that one is built.
