Post on social media that's short and sweet (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

twee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'post on social media' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'that's short and sweet' is the wordplay.
'short' indicates taking the first letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'sweet' becomes 'wee' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The first letter of 'that' is 't'.
't'+'wee'='TWEE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for twee that I've seen before include "Excessively sentimental" , "Overly sentimental or pretty" , "rather quaint" , "Overly precious" , "Excessively pretty" .)
