How-To: Get Re-Tweeted
17 Feb, 2010 | Written by Andrew Krzmarzick | under Government 2.0, Social Media: Examples, Social Media: Training
This will be my shortest blog post ever.
Because it’s about Twitter.
And you don’t have much space to say something important.
So here’s a quick tip that I believe is the foundation for re-tweetification:
Structure tweets in such a way that you leave at least 10-15 characters for an RT, HT or “via” plus your Twitter handle.
For me, that’s 13 characters for “RT @krazykriz”.
So I feel as if I never have 140 characters.
I’ve got 127…
…that is, if I want to make it easy for people to re-tweet me.
I suppose it seems intuitive or simple, but I often need to play with some tweets quite a bit before RT’ing.
And I love what they’ve said and want to share it right away!
What are your thoughts on this idea? Do you do the same?
