Twitter, the fast rising social networking site, is famed for its "What are you doing?" question.  You only type in what you're presently doing, click update, and your message goes to your entire group of friends and followers.  But how can you describe everything you're doing in 140 characters or less. Now, that's the catch! But don't give up on Twitter yet because it's packed with so many amazing features that will be sure to blow you away.

The @reply is a great feature in Twitter that you can make use of it to draw the attention of a particular Twitter user's interest and most people use the @reply to send a message to a specific user. So, how can we make everything short and simple?

 

Here are some helpful tips to make the most out of your 140 characters.

Mr.Maru: New Year's is very soon. What are you going to do next year?

Sparky: In the next year, I'm going to learn 1000 new English words.

Mr.Maru: Mmm, I see. What about grammar?

Sparky: I already study grammar on every weekend. I'm going to study on this weekend, too.

Sparky: Um, sure. Every weekend, I study grammar.

Mr.Maru: Maybe you should study a little harder.
