The 10 DO’s and DON’TS of Twitter – Fun with links
| 7. | DO… use a link shortening service. Nothing can be more frustrating in 160 characters than having to give up 60 of it to a link I want to post. Short link options are easy to use and plentiful. TinyUrl is a great one. It’s very simple to use and if you’re using Firefox can even be added as a plugin to make short URLs on the fly. It isn’t the only one by any means, so find one that you like and save yourself some space. |
| DON’T… link to something on your Facebook. I maybe following you on Twitter but if we aren’t FB friends, I can’t see it. Then comes that weird process of adding a friend request, you looking at it and going, “Do I know this person?” So you send me a message asking if we know each other. I say, “No, but I follow you’re Twitter feed.” You go ok and add me but you put me in this format where I can’t see most of your stuff and as luck would have the thing you linked to is not available to me at the current user access level. Then I realize, “I DON’T NEED TO SEE WHAT YOUR FUCKING CAT LOOKS LIKE!!!” I feel bad about myself, and wallow in a pit of despair. No one wants that. |
