Additional Resources For Twitter

Adding links, photos and video to your Tweets

You will see that there are many Tiny URL links in various tweets; this is an automatic feature built into Twitter. While you can use Tiny URL sites to shorten your links, Twitter will automatically convert long links to smaller URLs so the link fits into your tweet.

If you need image or video hosting to supplement a tweet, you can use a free service such as Twitpic.com, yfrog.com or twitvid.com which let you share your photos and video on Twitter.

Customizing your page

Please consult Identity Standards for visual identity guidelines and an appropriate Missouri State logo to use. Contact Publications regarding acceptable uses and variations of Missouri State logos.
