Tweeting more than Blogging

I have to admit that I am tweeting more than I am blogging now. Since my New Year Resolution to Tweet, I have found it less time-consuming. With its 140-character limit, it forces you to be concise, and creating a Tweet is far less arduous. Follow me on Twitter.

Tiny URLs - great for a Tweet

You are all aware of how cumbersome some URLs can be. Well, since the advent of Twitter, with its 140 character limit to tweets, the bit.ly URL shortener can be a boon. The results look meaningless, but sometimes it can be useful: especially in Tweets. Here is an example. The following is a link to the page about my novel called SANDMAN: http://www.iankingsley.com/books/sandman/ and its shortened version is http://bit.ly/goVmA8. Take a much longer URL like the following link to my Amazon.co.uk page: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sandman-Ian-Kingsley/dp/1907756752/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1 and the tiny version is only http://amzn.to/fDQZVA.
OK, they're not the easiest things to type, and they are case-sensitive, but they have their uses.
