I’d be interested to know your take on this latest offering by the SEC, although it is only the findings of a review, and once again not solid guidelines.

This post was about the problems. The next one is about the solutions. Twitter Strategy Guide for IR. The one after that, coming soon, is about just how to make good tweets, and one of the main points is to “Always Tweet Links” which is what you were suggesting.

Thanks for reading.

Nice post, however an easy way for the company to deal with this situation is to post the complete 414 character answer in their FAQ section of their IR website (or blog if they have one) and then simply link to it from Twitter.

The vast majority of tweets shared through Twitter include links to websites, the whole restriction of “140 characters” is not a restriction for companies if they focus on using their IR site effectively and linking back to it from Twitter.

Cheers,
