But DYK that Facebook had a 420 character limit?!<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Yes. You might already know this, if you are a regular reader here. Kieth has already written a post on this. (Click the link above). Keith came to know about this limit while he was trying to tell his friends about a feature request he wanted on Facebook, through his update.

Now, there is also an extension that &#8220;censors&#8221; the profanities on the web. The name of the extension is called &#8220;F Off&#8221;! Go ahead and install it if you have kids at home.

This extension does nothing. Okay, you are asking me what&#8217;s the deal with it? It has about 1408 users and &#8220;weekly installs&#8221; of about 4823. Now, is it funny, ridiculous, WTF or what?
