Do you find it difficult to stay in the #140zone?  Especially when dealing with a retweet?  And if you have a long Twitter name and the original poster has a long Twitter name then all the more woe to you!

This morning I have several suggestions for making life in 140 a bit less frustrating.  My suggestion relates back to my Tweet of last week, that suggested eventually we'll all be on a app called Beep - where you tweet in single chars that have predefined defintions (the reverse of Alpha, Bravo, Charley).

Most everyone who uses Twitter recognizes a retweet, so why can't we just use an "R" in front of a user's name to indicate a retweet.  That's one character saved there.

When crediting an author, writer or original thinker with "via", why not just use a "V" in front of the user's @ and all will be understood.  That's two characters saved with that.

I don't know about you, but three extra characters can go a long way in the #140 zone!

Any more suggestions for keeping it shorter and more tweet?  Let me know!
