Google is known to be the shortest and we try to keep ours at 155 characters (including spaces). This means getting creative with the wording, punctuation and abbreviations. Other sources concur with that. I found this on SEOMoz.com: "Character limits - currently Google displays up to 160 characters, Yahoo! up to 165 and MSN up to 200+ (they'll go to three vertical lines in some cases). Stick with the smallest - Google - and keep those descriptions at 160 characters (including spaces) or less."
