Expressing one’s self on Twitter involves summarizing, editing, and jettisoning the unimportant. We need to strip our thoughts down to the bare minimum, while most importantly, retaining the meaning.
For the more verbose of us, Twitter’s 140 character limit poses a challenge for conveying something as simple as where you are and what you are doing. But what about communicating something much more complex, like breaking up with someone?
Jason Preston navigates you through the world of minimizing the complex feelings, thoughts and action items associated with breaking up with someone in less than 140 characters.
In this instructive how-to video, you’ll build your Twitter toolbox with the following editing tactics:
- Acronymisying
- Pictifying
- Thesaurizing
- Clppng
and if necessary, you can gain the ability to break up with someone on Twitter.
