Write Twitter summaries

Some guy summed my blog and posted it on Twitter, together with the link to the blogpost, and boosted page views significantly. Here is short analysis why.

Here is what I posted:

And what he posted:

The retweets counter down there is not exact, I counted more than six retweets using tweetdeck.

Analysis

My format:

[title]
[tags]
[link]

His format:

[title]

[link]

[summary with list of titles]

[summary what I used at the end]

by [twitter username]

[tags]

It's clear to me, that his format is much better. People get sense of the content of the link, they can retweet this tweet and it means something by itself. My post is just a link with bunch of tags, whic his stupid in retrospective.

Also, I have to fix the twitter preview image, as this looks weird.
