And then there is the acknowledgment type tweet, maybe to respond to something you missed in the back stream, or just to reach out and "ping" someone. And I'm with Andy- I chop word to get a single idea to one tweet, though I may dash 2 or 3 in a row. There's no real harm in trying some different styles, approaches, finding what feels "right" to you.

Some people split a comment across multiple tweets, and that just does not make sense to me. I've been known to remove people from my list who do that, it's pointless, I may miss some "parts" of the comment. I'm still getting into Facebook, so I shall follow your experiences with interest.
