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. What eztweets does is take your long sentences and divide them up and post them to twitter for you all at the same time.
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.

Keep Updated Each Time A New Tweet Is Favorite Using RSS Feeds
Get alerts whenever someone favorite one of your tweets! Favstar offers an rss feed that you can subscribe too to get updates whenever someone favorites one of your tweets. How to do it? Visit their page and enter your twitter username. Select the recent tab just below the search box where you entered your username. Actually the recent tab is selected by default already for you but it doesn't hurt double checking. Click the rss feed button at the top right of the page. You could also use the following link and forget the above instructions if you're in a hurry. Copy and paste into your browser http://favstar.fm/users/spunkyduckling/rss to get rss feeds of your tweets if you would. Then replace my name in bold (spunkyduckling) with your twitter user name. There is one downside with this rss reads. You have no idea of knowing who the user is that favorite your tweet at a glance. You would have to visit each link to see..

Try Something Different! Tweet An Upside Down Sentence
This site is not one of my favorites but for those of you looking to do something different with your tweets or in hope of standing out from the rest of tweeters in the twitterverse you might want to try this website Flip MY Tweet. Just as the name implies, flip my tweet will flip your tweet upside down. Personally I find at a glance of my tweet in the twitter stream, my upside down tweet looks like gibberish or some sentence written in a foreign language which is not very appealing to me. Maybe it depends on what you tweet about. You can experiment with this service and see if it works for you. Maybe try including only flipped words in between the sentence of your 140 characters limitation.
