My wife is always telling me how she doesn’t get Twitter. So – in the interest enlightenment and education – and to fill up time when I REALLY should be writing – I’ve put together nine entirely nonessential guidelines for Tweeting.
1 – If you want to learn how to tweet listen to the birds. They sing so sweetly – but it all boils down to worms-worms-CAT!!!-worms…
2 – Tweeting – or twittering – is best done at a regular random intervals – say like whenever you fart.
3 – The better you are at tweeting the worse you get. Don’t ask me why. It’s one of those Zen things.
4 – 140 characters isn’t much forget about punctuashn
5 – And spellin
6 – You don’t need to know anything to tweet. Even Lady Gaga can do it.
7 – Forget about italics, Twitter doesn’t allow for nuance…
8 – Tweeting is small talk for geeks.
9 – Tweeting effectively probably sells books – except when it doesn’t.
Yours in storytelling,
