One of my friends found an anthem plan which might be worth looking into, I think it is 50-90 a month (each person) and pays all well visits, but anything besides that is a huge deductible maybe 5,000. She can get OB check up, pap smear, etc, and all immunizations for her or her son free and the office visit that goes with that, some basic blood work, iron tests, physicals. There is one Parker, Lilly, and I had once that was an 80/20.

Comment on A brief history of microblogging by Kevin Makice

It depends on which character set is used, actually. 7-bit = 160 character limit. 8-bit = 140 character limits. At the time this was written, that lower threshold was the way people were describing the reason for the Twitter constraint. Since that time, the history of Twitter has been clarified a bit more:

Back then, we had no character limit on our system. Messages longer than 160 characters (the common SMS carrier limit) were split into multiple texts and delivered (somewhat) sequentially. There were other bugs, and a mounting SMS bill. The team decided to place a limit on the number of characters that would go out via SMS for each post. They settled on 140, in order to leave room for the username and the colon in front of the message. In February of 2007 @Jack wrote something which inspired me to get started on this project: “One could change the world with one hundred and forty characters.”
(from @dom's great account of the early history)

a tweet is 140 characters. a text message is 160 characters. Your article says or implies that a text message is 140 characters.
