Here’s the deal. When you go to make a tweet on twitter” rel=”tag”>twitter, you have 140 characters to work with.
That’s not a lot. In fact, it’s next to nothing.
That creates a little pressure for you to do things in the most efficient way possible. The difference between good Twitter users an those who are really getting good mileage out of their participation is often the ability to adjust to the hyper-tight format.
Here are a few tips.
First, don’t even think about multi-part Tweets. People find them annoying and hard to read.. They don’t work as well as you might think. Find a way to get your idea into those 140 characters.
Second, use abbreviations while stopping short of acting like some high school kid using a text messenger. It’s okay to shorten a word or two in a Tweet, but only if you’re 100% sure that it retains absolute readability.
Third, practice makes perfect. Keep on Tweeting. Eventually, you’ll begin to get a sense of the space you really have and you’ll find ways to communicate a great deal in a limited space. Keep working and improving.
If you can abide by those three recommendations, you can be an efficient Twitter user.
