Hey, glad you like them. Yes, I agree the first is surprising, particularly consider the Tweet limit and the emphasis on brevity in other social media.

Here's another surprise.... Short posts can be more lucrative at times. Case in point: Months ago, I made several very long photo diaries, with a decent balance of text and photos, and they earned me minimal rewards. So I stopped posting such.

A few months later, I started posting into photo contests, just one photo at a times. They not only provide more exposure and more followers, they also turned out to earn me more rewards than my longer diaries.

(Of course, I had powered up, and I now have more followers, but it's clearer that, in certain cases, SHORTER posts may be more lucrative.)

Here are some photo contest links;
