Three Easy Ways To Improve Your Twitter Experience

twitter (1).jpgI'm simply addicted to Twitter and spend most evenings watching telly with my Laptop on my knee. Here are 3 easy hints for improving your twitter experience.

1. If you want people to retweet you then keep your tweets to less than 120 characters. When you are retweeted the system inserts "RT @yourusername" 4 characters PLUS your ID. If you are too close to the 147 limit characters will be dropped from the end of your tweet when it is retweeted. (particulalrly annoying if it is a link to page or photo) so keep number of characters down . . . use this formula to work it out

147 - 4 - number of characters in your id = best maximum length

I seldom retweet if I have to edit to make the post fit

------------------------------------------------

2. Avoid posting long Facebook messages automatically to Twitter . . again the message will be cropped down to 147 characters

------------------------------------------------

3. Don't simply put links to Facebook as tweets - if people want to use facebook they will use facebook rather than twitter - do your followers the courtesy of composing a "tweet" rather than simply posting a link to FB
