When sending a tweet from Twitter, it's important to understand that each message is limited to 140 characters. In the video, Chris Gore gives us tips on how to tweet and use the limitation of characters wisely. By choosing your words carefully, and creatively using abbreviations you can compose a clear message to send to your followers.

Step 1: Open A Twitter Account

To begin using Twitter, you must first register an account with the site. To create a Twitter account, follow these steps:https://twitter.com/

Visit www.twitter.comhttps://twitter.com/
Click the Sign Up button
You will be asked for your name and email address, and to create a username and password
Once completed, click Create Account
Then you will be able to find your contacts and start following othershttp://technologygear.net/how-to-tweet-at-twitter.html
Don’t forget to confirm your request to create the account through the email you will receive

Step 2: Answer The Question “What’s Happening?”

As you can see from your Twitter home page, the question posed is “what’s happening”. This is simply a general suggestion, as you can tweet whatever you’d like. In the text box on the top of your profile page, you can type up to 140 characters. This includes spaces, numbers and special characters. To cut down the characters required to say basic words, Twitter users have developed a “second language” of sorts to be able to communicate this way. It is similar to texting where the abbreviations such as LOL, OMG and others have replaced common character ridden phrases.http://www.bitrebels.com/geek/twitter-dictionary-35-twitter-abbreviations/ Once you have composed your tweet, simply click Tweet. Your message will then be visible in your timeline, as well as that of your followers.

Step 3: Alternative Ways To Tweet

You are not required to use the Twitter home page to send all of your tweets. You can use other Twitter clients. These are third party applications that integrate with Twitter to give the users a different interface, and some may offer a variety of features that are not currently seen on Twitter.com. Examples of these may be Tweetdeck, Twitscoop, Hootsuite and others who not only provide a Twitter platform, but also have features such as URL shortening to allow the user to post a link in a tweet and it will shorten the link to save character space.http://hootsuite.com// http://www.twitscoop.com/ http://www.tweetdeck.com/ Mobile devices are also a common way that users post tweets. There are a variety of applications for each mobile device’s software whether it be for the iPhone, Windows Mobile, Blackberry or other version of mobile software.http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/category/51 http://blogs.msdn.com/b/lokeuei/archive/2009/04/16/windows-mobile-twitter-apps.aspx
