Keep Your Posts Concise

Twitter limits tweets to 280 characters (about 2-3 sentences), and Facebook will show a shortened version of your post if it is longer than 400 characters (about 4-5 sentences). However, if you have a good story or compelling data that needs a longer post, go ahead and write a longer post or reply to your own tweets (this creates a tweet thread).
