How to Write Upside Down in Twitter

Twitter can be an awesome way to get the word out on anything that is important to you. Trouble is, if you have very many talkative people on your friend's list, it can quickly become a garbled battlefield where everyone is vying for attention. Writing upside down is certain to get some extra attention.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Free Twitter Account
  1. Step 1

    Visit a website which allows you to enter any text you like and automatically converts it for you to a unicode form of upside down text. Twitter allows unicode texting.

    Two such sites are fliptext.net and revfad.com/flip.html

    *hint... there are other unicode generator varieties out there, find some!

  2. Step 2

    Once you have entered your text into the unicode upside down generator tool copy it to your computer clipboard by right clicking and choosing 'copy'. You can also choose to use Ctrl+C on your keyboard.

  3. Step 3

    Open up Twitter on your browser. (doesn't seem to want to work for me with Tweetdeck, please leave comment in how it works on your preferred Twitter platform) Paste your new unicode text into the window by right clicking and choosing 'paste' or use the Ctrl+V on your keyboard.

  4. Step 4

    Click the send button on Twitter and prepare for more attention. Could be bad or it could be good... but it's still more attention!

Tips & Warnings
  • Remember... too much of a good thing is, well, TOO MUCH. All good things in moderation.
  • Prepare for the word to get out and upside down text in Twitter to become the new annoyance instead of the cool beans it is now.
