The lengths of web content
Every time I answer a comment or I send an email, I can not help having this discussion. I would not have written too much? Why this urge to always want to say too much?
I realize that most of my interlocutors will quickly drop out if I do not make an effort to make my publications are quick and easy to read. Still, I prefer going overboard information rather than proposing too light or incomplete content.
I then came the idea of trying to identify all the ideal length for any web publishing: tweet, title, tickets and everything else. But I found the exercise a little easier. So I decided to document all the results of my findings.
And here is the result!

A study conducted in late 2012 by Track Social among 100 popular brands on Twitter offers similar results. The study tells us among other things that the maximum of retweets is obtained from tweet with a length between 70 and 100 characters. This is indeed the ideal length for the contributor can be fully expressed, leaving the possibility of placing a comment on a possible retweet.
