Tina: BUSTED! Great job! And I’m sorry I didn’t know your comment was waiting on my approval. Actually, I try to do even fewer than 130 characters. My @name is 11 characters. I try to go under 120 when possible.

My top tip is to not use 140 characters. Aim for 130 max. Why? Because then other people have room to “retweet: ” you! (which takes 9 characters, only 4 if they know to use “RT: “) Hoorah! The more room you give them the better, gives them space to add a comment or info relevent to their followers. A bit of comment lets them tell *their* followers why they value your tweet. (rather lame) Example:
