Tips for writing Tweets

Following are some of tips and precautions for writing tweets:
• Do not give introductions and simply write down whatever you want to express straightaway
• Twitter permits the writer to use only 140 words in a tweet. Hence, do not write lengthy sentences because you are bound by space limit.
• Use simple and short sentences
• Use abbreviations. For example, instead of writing Gross Domestic Product, simply use the abbreviation GDP
• Write numbers in numerical form rather than words. E.g. Write ‘144’ rather than ‘one hundred forty four’
• Use short forms. E.g: Write ‘didn’t’ instead of ‘did not’
• Use symbols rather than words e.g: Use ‘&’ instead of ‘and’
• Never reveal your personal details
• Twitting can be a hobby but, should not become an addiction
