Twitter’s 140-character limit not enough? Try Woofer’s 1,400-character minimum

While Twitter limits users to 140 characters per tweet, Woofer requires each post to have a minimum of 1,400 characters. Similar to Twitter, Woofer counts down the amount of characters you have inputted with a big number at the top right of the screen. But you’re not allowed to post anything until you hit 1,400, according to Network World.

While Woofer claims no affliation with Twitter, Woofer’s user interface is near identical to Twitter. Woofer challenges users to post a 1,400 minimum character requirement for public posts and see what people did with it. The site instructs users to “Be eloquent, use adverbs and DEA (don’t ever abbreviate).”

The farcical Web site is run by Join the Company, a small company in Washington, D.C., which specializes in launching “entertaining websites that change the way people use the Internet.”

For the most part, it appears “copy and paste” is the preferred method of Woofer users to reach 1,400 words. Some of the first woofs reached the minimum by reciting the opening paragraphs of Moby Dick, the Gettysburg Address and the Old Testament.

As of Tuesday morning, 1720 users had posted 2059 “woofs” –for a whopping total of 39,683,934 characters. If you’re wondering, that’s about 20,000 characters per woof.
