2. Use CDATA to post special characters in description tag.
   Ex- <description><![CDATA[APiMicroblog [#!@%^*()+|-=\/.,;'":{}[\]? ~`$_><&mahir@mjt.com] [#)(_*&^%$@!~_+|?<":{}/.,;'[\]\=- 0987654321`]]]></description>

3. Image link is the live image location link. Image will be downloaded in the temp directory and after successfull post it will removed from the temp. Max 5 images will be included in the post.

4. Url in microblog description are not being converted into link due to a bug in the system.

5. [#validHashText] following pattern will be considered For hashtags where "[#" as opening brace and "]" as closing brace and in between the hashtag content called validHashText.

6.  "<" and ">" are not supported as part of #hashtags and will throw an error message. Any tab,enter,newline,backspace characters will be converted to "" if found in validHashText.

7. [~validemail] following pattern will be considered For mentions where "[~" as opening brace and "]" as closing brace and in between the mentioned content ( called validemail ). Valid email added should be viewable to logged in user otherwise it will be treated as plain text.
