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!
