How to Tweet More Than 140 Characters in Twitter?
After reading the article on Evolution of Twitter you might have come to know what Twitter is and how it has evolved over the years. You will also come to know that there is restriction on the number of characters you can use in a tweet – 140 characters are allowed in a tweet. So this limitation becomes a problem for the user when he wants to say a lot or when he wants to describe an incident. Some experts have argued that calling 140 characters limit a constraint is disdainful and in a way it must be treated as a creative feature. Anyways, in this article I am going to specify some of the tools using which one can tweet a message containing more than 140 characters.
Tall Tweets is a web app that allows the user to tweet a message of any length. The tool slices and publishes long tweets as a smaller segments of 140 characters. The smaller segments of tweets are numbered so that the follower can read the complete longer tweet without any difficulty. Another way of tweeting using this tool is that the longer tweet can be posted as image which can be viewed by your follower on his timeline.
Long Tweets is also a web app similar to Tall Tweets that allows the user to use any number of characters in a tweet. The user interface of this app is simple and elegant. The present version of this tool allows the user to post the longer tweet in the form of an image. The tool converts the longer tweet into an image and the URL of the image is posted on Twitter. Any follower can open the link on his timeline itself without leaving the Twitter.
This tool is different and unique compared to others. It allows the user to share notes and also helps in tweeting the messages of any length. The interface of this tool is amazing and it provides various features that can be used to highlight the text. User can add title and also video to the text. The text can be customized using the buttons and drop-downs. After adding the text the user must click on submit button to generate a link. This link can be posted on Twitter and also can be shared on other networking sites.
This is one of the latest tool that has come in to the market. Like other tools it also allows the user to tweet longer messages but the impressive thing about this tool is that it is mobile friendly. It revolutionizes the way people use Twitter by posting the tweets very quickly. Twenth website can be used on your mobile browser and you can tweet on the go. It has a very neat and clear interface without any glitches.
Twenth Android and iOS apps are expected to come out in 2013.
These are some of the applications that can be used to tweet longer messages. All the tools seem to be very similar – in fact the basic purpose of all these tools is similar – but they differ in some or the other way. In most of the tools, the tweet is posted either in the form of a URL or an image. In my opinion Tall Tweets is simple and very effective but the one which impresses a lot is Twenth.
