(Upvoted your reply because it is relevant and adds to the discussion; thanks.)<p>Obviously, a lot of the advise is targeted to the telegraph domain, for example in reducing words (instead of characters), not using punctuation marks (because they are words), and how addresses should be written (and we have mentions). So, in a very literal sense of this &quot;HOWTO&quot;, I agree that it does not translate well to tweeting.<p>On second reading, I guess I was (and still am) impressed by the relevance of the table of contents (section headers) for tweeting, and that it _could_ be used in a guide on &quot;how to write tweets&quot;. So, the actual advice does perhaps not translate well, but the structure is relevant. Perhaps I got carried away by reading the TOC.
