While I applaud the concept of copywriting for Twitter, I simply think that it is a waste of time. The 140 characters available should be used to convey useful, compelling information; there’s not much room for creativity and still be personal. By providing useful, timely content, a Twitter user will the gain the trust of followers and later be able to build on that trust in other channels.

Thanks Miguel for the respected posting. How about thinking web 2.0 just like a party before go we feel like to prepare buy something, meanwhile in party we feel hungry just got drink or buy some, after the party we feel like to have any preparation for another party and buy some too. Twittering as well chat for having feeling in relationship, then virtual become real life.

My current tactic is to share interesting facts I come across when researching articles (e.g. did you know Obama’s unofficial endorsement of Blackberry is estimated to be worth $50 million of marketing).

Twitter has grown 974% in the UK in the last year, and on the subject of popular viral Tweets: this week Stephen Fry (UK celebrity, who recently did a BBC series on the US) ran a competition to see who could write a sentence with 50 Ls into the 130 character limit. Created a flood of traffic and positive engagement in a fun way, something brands could learn from.

How about “micro-copywriting?” Or is that too many characters?

I hate when people spam blogs, facebook profiles/groups, and twitter. I instantaneously block/delete them.

Social media sites like tweeter and facebook are like going to a party, you don’t go to a party to tell everybody about your product/business/opportunity… you socialize, you make friends… then you invite them to your home (blog/website) where they know you better and become customers…

Very good post Miguel, kudos!

Great post, and it couldn’t be a more relevant time. Twitter’s soaring numbers have left a lot of people unclear on the how to use it properly – and Miguel, I hope every twitter user reads this.

A points for discussion:
-How important is punctuation in “Microwriting?”

Great post, great topic – looking forward to more.

Cheers,
Kris
