Maximize Your 140 Characters

You can't write a book on Twitter's 140 character limit. " I say keep it short and sweet – with so many people tweeting during the Oscars, you don't want to bore people with your ramblings about Bradley Cooper's clear blue eyes," says Emily.

Try using "&" instead of "and" or leave our unnecessary fluff. And just so you know, we really are fans of his eyes!

Be Nice to the Celebs!

Emily says no celeb is going to follow you on Twitter if you are mean to them. Why should they? Make sure you follow the Oscar noms that have Twitter accounts like @BenAffleck and @HelenHunt.
