Micro-messaging Twitter

Everyone, everywhere always goes: Ugh, what can I write in 140 characters?!

The 140 word limit in twitter has created an entirely new concept of writing. The reason is if you had twitter, you would not be looking to read a full article . This creates a scenario where you can easily and quickly post without hassle. The average internet ‘explorer’ will never spend more then 2.5 seconds while searching for something online. A small post would be faster to read then a long one.But many cavemen like me have adapted to the surroundings.

Use link shorteners- A URL takes up quite a lot of space. Link shorteners are shorter in length but can still direct you to the page easily, e.g on.mash.to/Imh9gK used to be http://mashable.com/2012/04/27/sports-social-media-2/. Try to notice some simlarites. A notable URL shortener is Bitly. If you had noticed I URL shortened ‘Bitly’, as well.

Do not sacrifice spelling for space- Spelling is what attracts attention and it gives your profile a cleaner and more formal look. Riting lke ths dsent hlp.

Do not add interjections- Interjections are somewhat useless and truly (and I’m speaking by experience) annoying.

Do not spam with hashtags– Do not add more then 2 hashtags to your post otherwise it become’s 2 much (geddit?)

Twitter follows 1 method: Keep it simple and small.
