(Websites :: Firefox Flicks, defect)

Description

Attachment: Screenshot

By default, the descriptions for the promo videos are too long to Tweet (at least, not without using the URL shortener, but even then, we should snip the descriptions a bit, I think).

STR:

1. Load https://firefoxflicks-dev.allizom.org/en-US/video/dance/
2. Click Share!
3. Click "Tweet"

Expected Results:

Should be able to "just Tweet" the description + URL

Actual Results:

We're at 28 over

Okay - shorter text needed:

Let's make the last line "Get inspired for Firefox Flicks." and cut the copy after it.

Moving to 1.3, as this requires new copy but doesn't block the 1.2 release.

New copy for Noir:

Let's make the last line "Get inspired for Firefox Flicks." and cut the copy after it.

Thanks!

We also have the choice of using just the first part, as they are already translated:

"He's got the moves. He's got ambition. How far can this fox's feet take him?"
"The fox meets a damsel in distress, but can he help her?"

Thoughts? Which set should we use?

Hrm. I would ask for a Milos call on this one.
