The 10 DO’s and DON’TS of Twitter – Mobile Twittering for tweetards

dnd_10

5. DO… mobile Twitter. There are lot’s of ways to Twitter when you’re on the go. The simplest way to do it is by setting up SMS on your Twitter profile right from the web site. However if you have a more advanced phone there are tons of other options. No device is more Twitter savvy than the iPhone. With a ton of apps and options it is definitely the best way to tweet while you’re out. Tweetie is known as the most robust iPhone app but if you want something free Twitterfon, to me, is the best option. If you’re on Blackberry there’s Twitterberry. Even Windows Mobile has Twobile and Palm OS has Motwit.
DON’T… treat you mobile Twittering experience like your a 14 year old girl texting her friends that Mark is 2 cut n will b so 4eva. SMS shortcuts are for SMS. If you do this on Twitter you end up sounding like a tweetard. The point of 160 characters is to be succinct and direct and not cram in as much as you can. This makes the rest of the world feel like they’re on some online version of Bumper Stumpers.
