Hey! Welcome to Twitter.

0:00:03.150,0:00:05.618
Let us quickly go over some basics.

0:00:05.618,0:00:06.817
At the heart of Twitter, there are

0:00:06.817,0:00:09.050
small bursts of information called Tweets.

0:00:09.050,0:00:11.567
(They are) quick updates like a text message

0:00:11.567,0:00:13.467
but a Tweet can be more than just text.

0:00:13.467,0:00:15.700
It can include a photo uploaded to Twitter,

0:00:15.700,0:00:17.750
a video you can watch inside the Tweet,

0:00:17.750,0:00:19.935
or a link to great content on the web.

0:00:19.935,0:00:22.002
The stream of Tweets is your Twitter

0:00:22.002,0:00:23.484
and you create it by following accounts

0:00:23.484,0:00:25.200
that are interesting to you.

0:00:25.200,0:00:27.367
When you first join, your Twitter is empty

0:00:27.367,0:00:29.551
but during the signup, we will help you find great accounts

0:00:29.551,0:00:31.101
that match your interests.

0:00:31.101,0:00:33.218
Just pick categories you like, such as

0:00:33.218,0:00:37.034
Entertainment, News, Sports, or enter your favourite hobby

0:00:37.034,0:00:39.950
and then we will show you some recommended accounts in those areas.

0:00:39.950,0:00:42.352
When you click on the Follow button, you will start seeing

0:00:42.352,0:00:44.651
Tweets from that account on your Twitter.

0:00:44.651,0:00:46.134
Clicking on someone's name or picture

0:00:46.134,0:00:47.700
will tell you more about the account.

0:00:47.700,0:00:51.116
It will also give you the option to follow or unfollow them.

0:00:51.116,0:00:52.801
Following is not permanent. You can always

0:00:52.801,0:00:54.951
unfollow accounts that you are not that into

0:00:54.951,0:00:56.584
or search for accounts that you may have missed

0:00:56.584,0:00:58.451
after you are done signing up.

0:00:58.451,0:01:00.450
It is important to know that you do not need to Tweet

0:01:00.450,0:01:01.818
to enjoy Twitter.

0:01:01.818,0:01:04.701
Many use it just to listen, rather than share.

0:01:04.701,0:01:06.284
Once you finish your Twitter profile

0:01:06.284,0:01:08.735
by uploading a picture and completing your bio,

0:01:08.735,0:01:10.204

0:01:10.204,0:01:12.352

0:01:13.551,0:01:15.967
everything you care about while you are on the go.

0:01:15.967,0:01:17.051
