Post Longer Tweets When 140 Characters Isn't Enough.

Sometimes I find there are times when what I have to say just cannot fit into twitter's 140 character tweet limit. This is when this free and sponsored service EZtweets comes in handy for me.

The cool thing is they allow you to post your tweet in the sequence you nominated and they label each tweet making it easy for readers to identify and connect each continuation tweet. So if you are someone who is tired of using too many short hands, can hardly ever find yourself posting a short tweet, and dozens of other reasons then this is a service you don't want to miss out on. And they allow as many tweets as twitter updates will allow, which is currently 1000. To see an example of what the tweet will look like click here.
