Advanced Twitter Tricks
Here’s a couple of advanced twitter tricks you can learn and apply immediately:
1. Tweet 125 characters instead of 140: Although you can now tweet more than 140 characters, the whole purpose of Twitter is the short messages. Shorten your tweets to 125 (or shorter if you can) to encourage easy re-tweets and added comments.
2. Try Friendfeed for finding tweets- Friendfeed is a very good resource for searching for old tweets. Twitter Search only goes back a few weeks, but Friendfeed allows you to search back much older tweets.
3. Use Groups to organize your Twitter: Even when you are following a large number of twitter users, you really pay close attention to only a sum of their tweets. By creating groups in your Twitter client, you have a columns for those tweets that are really important.
4. Don’t Use & in Your Twitter Profile: For some reason, the “&” symbol doesn’t get along well with Twitter and won’t be displayed properly.http://adf.ly/10566551/twitter1
