Hey! Welcome to Twitter.
-
Let us quickly go over some basics.
-
At the heart of Twitter, there are
-
small bursts of information called Tweets.
-
(They are) quick updates like a text message
-
but a Tweet can be more than just text.
-
It can include a photo uploaded to Twitter,
-
a video you can watch inside the Tweet,
-
or a link to great content on the web.
-
The stream of Tweets is your Twitter
-
and you create it by following accounts
-
that are interesting to you.
-
When you first join, your Twitter is empty
-
but during the signup, we will help you find great accounts
-
that match your interests.
-
Just pick categories you like, such as
-
Entertainment, News, Sports, or enter your favourite hobby
-
and then we will show you some recommended accounts in those areas.
-
When you click on the Follow button, you will start seeing
-
Tweets from that account on your Twitter.
-
Clicking on someone's name or picture
-
will tell you more about the account.
-
It will also give you the option to follow or unfollow them.
-
Following is not permanent. You can always
-
unfollow accounts that you are not that into
-
or search for accounts that you may have missed
-
after you are done signing up.
-
It is important to know that you do not need to Tweet
-
to enjoy Twitter.
-
Many use it just to listen, rather than share.
-
Once you finish your Twitter profile
-
by uploading a picture and completing your bio,
-
consider downloading the app
-
to take Twitter with you on your smartphone.
-
It is a great way to stay up to date with
-
everything you care about while you are on the go.
-
So, there you have it!
-
Just click the Next button blow
-
and we will take you through the rest.
