communication around the extended tweets launch has been...unclear at best. :/ for char counting, the best conclusion so far seems to be that it's launched for trailing attachment URLs (pictures etc), but not yet for @-mentions: https://twittercommunity.com/t/mentions-in-replies-are-being-counted-towards-140-character-limit/76427/2

Hi @manton2. Your Micro.blog project sounds interesting from an #IndieWeb POV, but I’m still not getting what it is… http://djm.click/blog/b/2yX

Sorry I think this is my fault, unrelated to Twitter's new extended stuff.

Twitter is linkifying Micro.blog, so it uses up 23 characters, but .blog isn't in brevity's list of TLDs yet
