How can you write a good tweet?

What will be an ideal response?


Start with the noun–verb structure. If you can identify the “who” and the “did what” elements of your tweet, you can give your readers the key information right away. Make one point at a time. The better you focus on the main issues associated with the announcement you want to make, the clearer your intent will be to your readers. Use smart substitutions. In headline writing, journalists cram large type into small and odd spaces. To do this, they can break certain style rules within reason to make things fit. In Twitter, you can apply some of the same basic principles to shorten your tweet without making it unnecessarily difficult to read. Edit and tighten.
