(Picture credit and edited with permission from Gan Meng Yeow)Since I switched to iPhone, I have been heavily utilizing the "Twitter" related applications (such as "TweetDeck" and "TweetDeck") on this wonderful gadget (as pictured above and to think the fact that I once proclaimed I'm not an APPLE user).
Straight to the point, with the popularizing of this revolutionized handset that almost everyone is carrying nowadays. I think making full use of the social media tools such as "Twitter" and "Facebook" would do more good than harm.
While I am aware the league authority and some clubs also have their own "tweets" and "FB" presence, but in my presence opinion those are rather under-utilized.
Under-used in a sense, it's nothing more than just trying to squeeze everything like the latest information, match updates within the 140-character limit.
So this is why I making use of the picture uploading function offered by the two "Twitter" apps to see if we could reach out to a wider audience through them?
And below are some of the pictures I snapped and tweeted instantly after each occurrence (the text in the green font was exactly what I tweeted with the date beside it link the URL of the actual tweet).

Hmmm, if you think that "140 letter" limit is a constraint, there are some iPhone applications that support Twitlonger (allows you to tweet with a link at the back if you type more than 140 characters). Check out http://www.twitlonger.com/apps
ReplyDeleteOnly one of the apps that support it on the iPhone isn't a "paid app". If you're still comfortable with TweetDeck, you'll have to "tahan" the 140 character limit.
Have fun tweeting!
Hi Yan Yi,
ReplyDeleteThe beauty of the twitter is the 140-character limit, which "insist" user "2 get d msg straight across w/o beating ard d bush", so I thought, using "twitlonger" might defeat the purpose.
But thanks for sharing with us :)
@Pohui
ReplyDeleteYes indeed it's the beauty of Twitter. You're welcome.
The 140-character limit is a challenge that many of us used to writing fulltext SMSes have no problems getting around - you just have to be to the point, and make sure there is a point. <--- anti-txtspk rant.
