Is it possible to describe what international education is in 134 characters on Twitter? Why 134 characters? Well, Twitter allows 140 character posts but am accounting for the 5 character #IEis hashtag and a space. If you use the #IEis hashtag everyone will be able to see what others have to say and I can go back, collect and summarize here on IHEC Blog at a later date (assuming this little experiment produces some tweets).
So, how do you describe international education in 134 characters?
#IEis promoting greater understanding between and among world cultures through outreach, partnerships, and opportunities to educate.
ReplyDeleteActually it needs to be even less than 134 characters. A well-constructed tweet should (whenever possible) include room for hashtags *as well as* the information that will be included if the tweet is retweeted. So you should leave room for:
ReplyDelete* The letters "RT" and a space = "RT "
* Your Twitter handle and a colon and a space = "@rmsylte: "
--This is where having a shorter handle comes in handy!
* Any hashtags and a space = " #IEis"
* Any link you might want to include and a space = " http://ow.ly/4E70c"
When combined correctly in a tweet:
RT @rmsylte: YOUR TWEET HERE #IEis http://ow.ly/4E70c
