Shorten Tweets By Converting To SMS Lingo
Think 140 characters are not enough? If you feel this way, you can shorten your tweets by converting them into SMS shorthand language. If you don’t know what I mean by SMS shorthand language, here are some examples:
- How Are you? changes to How r u?
- I will talk to you later, Gotta go now changes to I will ttyl, gtg now.
If you don’t feel like spending the time to write in SMS lingo, you can simply use Twonvert. Twonvert is a great web app that lets you convert your raw text into SMS shorthand to save you space. Just copy-paste the text you want to convert and Twonvert will convert it for you. It will also tell you how much characters you are saving by converting to the SMS lingo.
Once done, you can either copy the converted text or submit it to Twitter directly by providing your Twitter credentials.
Techie-Buzz Verdict:
Twonvert is a great Twitter tool to help you cram more words in the limited 140 characters. It is easy to use and very productive.

Thanks for this. I haven't used Twonvert. I generally use Tweetshrink which is integrated with clients like Tweetdeck and Seesmic.
