"I'm pretty sure it is server side set to not accept anything over 140 length."
First check, then make assumptions please. :) Yes, you can exceed 140 characters. Example: http://twitter.com/mrpenguino/statuses/553786282
BTW, all characters from additional Unicode pallette count as 2, so they have to allow 140+ (think about japanese folks). http://twitter.com/riddle/statuses/543752322
In some cases twitter tells that my update was above 140 chars and it even displays "..." but it isn't needed as real char count is below 140 (I use proper typography a lot („”…– —).
Please, do check this on your own before criticizing my script. :)

No, it still works for me and so it should for you.

twitter has changed their code, making this hack obsolete. After you install this hack, you are still blocked from exceeding 140 chars.
See the screen shot below.

I'm pretty sure it is server side set to not accept anything over 140 length. This is just the client side that you are editing, but i may be wrong it just seems this way.

Actually you can exceed 140 chars, but it's not recommended.
Anyway - I removed the limit because I could move in textarea with cursor to locate and delete extra chars. It sucked. :]
