Twitter Language

How long have you been living in the stream? Do you find yourself thinking about a thought is worth tweeting or not – more regularly than could be appropriate? Do you find yourself using words that language purists would frown upon, words that have been born out of too much time on Twitter?

Perhaps that is because I have an aversion to using buzzwords – most of the time, at least.

Getting Retweets

Twitter has more than 500 million users, with 150,000 new users signing up every day. Not all of those are active users (that number is about 100 million every month), but those who do use Twitter actively generate an average of 55 million tweets per day. (Source)

Seeing those numbers, one would be an idiot not to want to take advantage of the potential audience on Twitter. No matter what your purpose may be – personal brand building or business expansion – there are a lot of people on Twitter who may be the targets of your message.
