4 Ways To Post Longer Tweets on Twitter

Do you often find it hard to say what you want to say on Twitter due to the character restriction? If 140 characters is sometimes just not enough for you, these Twitter tools for posting longer tweets will definitely come in handy for you.

Twitlonger lets you sign in via Twitter OAuth in order to post long blog-like posts on Twitter. It’s very simple, once you login you’ll get a large text area to write as much as you want. Even though there’s no character limits, there is a character counter in the top right corner. Once you finish your post and click the “post” button, it will automatically be posted on your Twitter account along with a link to view the full post.

ezTweets lets you post longer messages to both Twitter (via Twitter OAuth) and Facebook (via Facebook Connect). For Twitter, what it does is split your tweet up into parts. Each tweet will labeled with its appropriate order; for instance a total of 3 tweets would show 1/3 before tweet #1, 2/3 before tweet #2, and 3/3 before tweet #3. You can choose whether to post your tweets in ascending or descending order. Once again, there are no character limits.

With TwitterContd you can login using your Twitter credentials or vial Twitter OAuth. Unlike TwitLonger and ezTweets (mentioned above) there is a character limit of 1250 characters. There’s also an integrated URL shortener and a music search bar. The music search bar lets you search for an artist, song or album to include in your tweet. You can also upload numerous files (up to 100MB total) that will also be added to your tweet. Just like ezTweets, your tweets will be broken up into parts but you can also choose the type of separator that is used for each part.

RichTweets lets you post HTML tweets where you can change the color of your text and add images, links, videos and widgets. You can login via Twitter OAuth after which you’ll be presented with a rich text editor. You can also create a title for your post and add up to 4 tags if you desire. You can easily add YouTube videos by clicking on the YouTube button and then inserting the video URL. Alternately, you can embed other videos by entering the full code in the video embed box. The title that you use will be posted to your Twitter account along with a link to your post.
