Information is in
high demand. However, no one has time to
read. When decisions need to be made
information must be given but if there is no time to read the details what do
you do? Tweet! What did you say? Your boss doesn't use
Twitter? The wouldn't know how to even
get stated I bet and you certainly do not have to teach them. So how can you Tweet, get the information out
and include the pertinent details.
Use email as
Twitter. Send out short messages. Even if you have need a string of tweets in
one email do that. Use the subject as
your hash tag and add links, to detailed documents and photos.
Here's and
example.
- I am not the authority on the subject but I have access to the approved documentation. (Link) The answer to your question is in section 6.3.
- The prototype is a bit off center but it gives you an idea of the magnitude of the project. (photo)
- If you have any questions feel free to contact me at (999) 555-5555.
Each line is
within the 140 character limit. This
message is easy to read on any mobile device and the links can provide extra
detail. Adding the phone number makes it
easy to get the recipient directly to you.
Also speak in
tweets. Short statements are easier to
decipher and media ready in most cases.
Celebrities and politicians have mastered the art of speaking in sound
bites for interviews. Think of speaking
in tweets as the equivalent.
For job seekers,
develop a "twesume" for those elevator speeches about who you are and
what you do. Include your personal
website at the end for an added impression.
Have you ever had someone say you need to be able to articulate what you
do in 30 seconds or less. Well twit-speak can help.
Are you the in a
meeting with Mr. or Ms. Cut Me Off or have you heard "I don't mean to cut
you off, but…?" Well we've all been
there. Long statements just seem to bore
people and they either lose focus or change the subject in the middle of your
statement. If you speak in short bursts
and occasionally leave them with a source for more detail or justification for
your statement, that leave a much better impression.
There are many
uses for twit-speak. Use your followers
on twitter to help you perfect your voice in 140 characters or less. Leave some of your applications of twit-speak
in the comments section. 140 characters
or less please. #twitspeak @marvwhitejr
