Do You Twitter? Follow Me.

If you are a Twitter user then you might be interested to know that I now have my own Twitter account. Follow me.

Here’s a quick way to promote your articles on Twitter. Write the article and distribute it to your favorite article directories the way you do now. Then, in 140 characters or less (because that’s all you have on Twitter), promote it. All you have to say is something like this:

Cool article: (copy/paste permalink here).

If your permalink is so long that your message goes over 140 characters then you’ll have to shorten the message. I’ve gone so far as to simply say

Nice.

then listed the URL. That’s OK.

Twitter will automatically turn long URLs into short URLs. TinyURLs to be exact. But your message still needs to be 140 characters or less even with the long version of your URL.

I’m learning that Twitter is a cool promo tool. Of course, I’m just getting started. More Twitter tips (Twips?) are on the way.
