What makes a good tweet?
At the recent Teen Choice awards one category stood out from the rest. Alongside the standard categories like ‘Best Actor’, ‘Best Actress’ and ‘Best Liplock’ the awards also ran a category for the first ever ‘Best Twit’ award. After a long build up where presenters extolled the virtues of twitter the nominees were announced. Each celebrity in the category was nominated for one particular tweet with examples including:
Kim Kardashian – PLEASE HELP ME! I am so sunburned! I fell asleep with huge glasses on yesterday! This tan line is not ok!!
MC Hammer – NFL Football camps start in about 2 weeks…I’m ready for some Football!!! !!!!!
Ashton Kutcher –Ashton does it!
The overall winner was Ellen DeGeneres for her tweet, ‘This is what happens when you tweet about Garbonzo beans….’
Aside from thinking that this was an extremely odd category it got me thinking about what the criteria must have been to judge ‘the best tweet’. Can you even categorise a tweet?! What makes a good tweet? Does it have to be funny? Useful? Thought-provoking?
