How To Twitter: A Dummies Guide

If you still haven’t signed up for a Twitter account or still don’t know how to twitter, you might be missing half of your social networking life. Here is a simple guide to how the networking site works. 

Upon joining the site for free, you can search for your friends who are also using the site and follow their Tweets as well. The site can be updated both on mobile phones and on notebooks. There is a limited 140 characters for you to publish on the site and to answer the question “What are you doing?” Your friends can reply to these tweets easily and are very effective means of communicating with one another. You can also hook Twitter to other applications and messenger so you stay connected all the time. 

Another basic on how to twitter is to know the difference between your friends and followers. Your friends are the people whose timelines you follow and tweets are visible to you. Your followers, on the other hand follow your Tweets. Your followers can view your Tweets but you have the option of not doing the same for their pages. 

Other private options also include Tweeting only for your friends. This can be useful for inviting people to parties or checking out a newly opened joint. For even more private messages, you can send them through the “Direct Message” function so it only goes directly to your friend’s page. The site is very easy to use and requires no joining fee either. If you are not adept with social networking sites, you can easily learn how to Twitter.
