I have both Twitter and Facebook configured as broadcast account destinations. With only Twitter, or both, enabled there is a 140 characters count-down on the right hand side of the entry panel.

If only Facebook is selected, this does not make any sense (now) as Facebook does not limit the entered broadcast message.

The 140 character countdown is displayed.
