Tempting Twitter

Something needs to have a clear point when you only have 140 characters to say it in..
Twitter in the past few years has exploded in its amount of users.
It allows a gigantic community to get news fast. It allows housewives to know the latest TV gossip and young girls to know the latest FADS. We live in a fast paced, ever demanding community where we get everything in an instant.
But it’s not that easy when you’re trying to be that person who gives the latest (useful news)
Live commentary  on twitter has to be quick, witty and actually TELL the person reading it something.


As you can see from above; my first attempt at live commentary. You quickly learn to pick up the most important elements within the show. The more you go along, the more of a style you collate.
I found it easiest to use alliteration of garments, key pieces or the mood. The use of alliteration or assonance gives body to your tweet, it flows better and makes it more likeable. I released my inner poet to be witty with my 140 characters.
