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.
