How to Use Twitter as a Mini Blog A mini blog? Is it really worth it when you’re only allowed a maximum of 140 characters for each ‘post’? Well actually yes, it is. The real secret to using Twitter effectively is to think of it as a miniature blog. Sure, some people will use it to tell the world what they had for dinner, but we’ve got an altogether different purpose for it. We want to generate traffic for our websites and promote our businesses, so we need to have some continuity in our tweets if we can.
