Critical Tip for Ping Users

Share on Twitter

Use Ping to update your statuses on your social networks? If so, this is specifically for you.

Keep your update limited to LITERALLY less than 100 (not 101) characters, and it will work on all. You’re only as strong as your weakest link, and LinkedIn is the weakest, truncating your posts and making them look funny. Further, don’t use ampersands (this thing –> &) and be judicious about using the at symbol (this thing –> @).

As if 140 characters wasn’t short enough, this sure forces the brevity issue, doesn’t it?

Happy Pinging!
