Hey, Welcome to Twitter
-
Let's quickly go over some basics
-
at the heart of Twitter there are
-
small bursts of information called Tweets
-
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 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'll help you find great accounts
-
that match your interests.
-
Just pick categories you like such as
-
entertainment, news, sports, or enter your favorite hobby
-
and then we will show you some recommended accounts in those areas
-
when you click on the Follow button you'll 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're not that into
-
or search for accounts that you may have missed
-
after you're done signing up
-
It's important to know that you don't 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's a great way to stay up to date with
-
everything you care about while you're on the go
-
So there you have it!
