Twitter rewrites every URL to a t.co address of a fixed 23 characters, so counting the raw characters rejected messages Twitter would have accepted: 100 characters of text plus a 50 character YouTube link counted as 150 and was refused, where Twitter sees 123. The punctuation trimmed off the end of a link keeps counting as ordinary text. Only links written with a scheme are recognised; Twitter also shortens bare hosts like example.com/foo, but detecting those without mistaking Node.js for a link is not worth it here, and counting them in full errs toward refusing rather than posting something too long.
