Here’s a Terrific Twitter Tip
ByIf you play on Twitter at all, you’ve probably seen people retweeting other’s tweets. Usually because they start with #RT and the original writers Twitter name. Retweets are great because they help your information spread farther. Viral marketing at its best.
Here’s a great tip on how to do this better…
Shéa Bennett, who writes the blog http://Twittercism.com has come up with an obvious, but no so obvious equation for retweet
optimization. The concept itself is obvious, the equation itself – not as much. The concept is this: consider Twitter’s 140-character limit, consider your user name, and consider how many characters you need to leave free.
“When sharing links and content, I always ensure I leave a minimum of 12 characters at the end of each and every tweet,” says Bennett. “This is a great habit to adopt. Otherwise, those wanting to retweet you are forced to edit your submissions so that they can give the proper credit. Because of this extra work, many times, they simply won’t bother retweeting you at all.”
