subject: Twitter Basics To Get You Started [print this page] There are a lot of people out there who know about Twitter but have no idea how to use it. That's without mentioning that the amount of people who envisage becoming Twitter users is increasing exponentially every day.
Twitter has a big presence in the mainstream today that people cannot help but find out what all the fuss is about. However, a good majority of people hoping to join Twitter have little or no idea about how to use it. This article hopes to cover some of the basic concepts regarding using Twitter.
Opening An Account
To join any social networking platform, you first have to open an account. When it comes to Twitter, its all a matter of going to Twitter.com and following the prompts to complete the signup process. You simply need an email address (which most already do) and the rest is relatively simple. Once you have opened an account, dont forget to add an appropriate photo and colors that reflect your tastes and preferences.
To Tweet or not to Tweet
Once you start to get the hang of Twitter, you will find it hard not to tweet. Tweeting is basically Twitter language for sending a message to all your followers. Make sure your messages relate to the profile you want to build on Twitter. If its inappropriate or not very useful (such as spam) then your followers will not like it one bit. The best way to get a loyal bunch of followers is by consistently providing good content. Tweet carefully and with purpose.
Follow Me, Follow You
The whole essence of Twitter revolves around following other people. It would be wise to only follow those people who share your interests. Or else, you will receive tweets which are not of interest to you. In addition, the best to get people to follow you back is to follow them first. If you share your love on Twitter, then some of that love will come back to you.
The most important thing to remember is that Twitter is not very difficult to use. As with all things, its hard at first, but then with a bit of persistence, you will become a Twitter expert. If you remain committed to making the most out of this social networking platform, then the result would be an increased knowledge of Twitter to the point that you will be in a position to teach others.
