Hi John, You said in the video that we can have maximum 3 external ids defined for the object. However from some of the articles in the salesforce site I see they have mentioned it is 7. Could you please clarify what is the right value. Below link is one of the reference.
Text Area (Long) Allows users to enter up to 131,072 characters that display on separate lines similar to a Description field. You can set the length of this field type to a lower limit, if desired. Any length from 256 to 131,072 characters is allowed. The default is 32,768 characters.
Text Area (Rich) With the use of a toolbar, users can format the field content and add images and hyperlinks. The toolbar allows the user to undo, redo, bold, italicize, underline, strike-out, add a hyperlink, upload or link to an image, modify alignment, add a numbered or non-numbered list, indent, and outdent. The maximum field size is 131,072 characters, inclusive of all the formatting and HTML tags.

Oh I see it is already answered previously. Please ignore this comment.
The number of External Id limit has been raised to 7 (from 3). https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=custom_field_attributes.htm&language=en_US
Updated thanks – was already updated in the text, added to the video.
It actually still says 3 in the video.
The annotations don’t come through unless you on youtube.com – looking into this…
TextArea (Long) and TextArea (Rich) – now have more max chars [ Not sure you have mentioned this later !].
