Twitter Retweets - Shorter and More Tweet
Do you find it difficult to stay in the #140zone? Especially when dealing with a retweet? And if you have a long Twitter name and the original poster has a long Twitter name then all the more woe to you!
This morning I have several suggestions for making life in 140 a bit less frustrating. My suggestion relates back to my Tweet of last week, that suggested eventually we'll all be on a app called Beep - where you tweet in single chars that have predefined defintions (the reverse of Alpha, Bravo, Charley).
Most everyone who uses Twitter recognizes a retweet, so why can't we just use an "R" in front of a user's name to indicate a retweet. That's one character saved there.
When crediting an author, writer or original thinker with "via", why not just use a "V" in front of the user's @ and all will be understood. That's two characters saved with that.
I don't know about you, but three extra characters can go a long way in the #140 zone!
Any more suggestions for keeping it shorter and more tweet? Let me know!
