Hey, Welcome to Twitter

00:00:03.150 --> 00:00:05.618
Let's quickly go over some basics

00:00:05.618 --> 00:00:06.817
at the heart of Twitter there are

00:00:06.817 --> 00:00:09.050
small bursts of information called Tweets

00:00:09.050 --> 00:00:11.567
quick updates like a text message

00:00:11.567 --> 00:00:13.467
but a Tweet can be more than just text

00:00:13.467 --> 00:00:15.700
it can include a photo uploaded to Twitter

00:00:15.700 --> 00:00:17.750
a video you can watch inside the Tweet

00:00:17.750 --> 00:00:19.935
or a link to great content on the web

00:00:19.935 --> 00:00:22.002
the stream of of Tweets is your Twitter

00:00:22.002 --> 00:00:23.484
and you create it by following accounts

00:00:23.484 --> 00:00:25.200
that are interesting to you

00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:27.367
when you first join, your Twitter is empty

00:00:27.367 --> 00:00:29.551
but during the signup we'll help you find great accounts

00:00:29.551 --> 00:00:31.101
that match your interests.

00:00:31.101 --> 00:00:33.218
Just pick categories you like such as

00:00:33.218 --> 00:00:37.034
entertainment, news, sports, or enter your favorite hobby

00:00:37.034 --> 00:00:39.950
and then we will show you some recommended accounts in those areas

00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:42.352
when you click on the Follow button you'll start seeing

00:00:42.352 --> 00:00:44.651
Tweets from that account on your Twitter

00:00:44.651 --> 00:00:46.134
clicking on someone's name or picture

00:00:46.134 --> 00:00:47.700
will tell you more about the account

00:00:47.700 --> 00:00:51.116
It will also give you the option to follow or unfollow them

00:00:51.116 --> 00:00:52.801
Following is not permanent, you can always

00:00:52.801 --> 00:00:54.951
unfollow accounts that you're not that into

00:00:54.951 --> 00:00:56.584
or search for accounts that you may have missed

00:00:56.584 --> 00:00:58.451
after you're done signing up

00:00:58.451 --> 00:01:00.450
It's important to know that you don't need to Tweet

00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:01.818
to enjoy Twitter

00:01:01.818 --> 00:01:04.701
many use it just to listen, rather than share

00:01:04.701 --> 00:01:06.284
Once you finish your Twitter profile

00:01:06.284 --> 00:01:08.735
by uploading a picture and completing your bio

00:01:08.735 --> 00:01:10.204
consider downloading the app

00:01:10.204 --> 00:01:12.352
to take Twitter with you on your smartphone

00:01:12.352 --> 00:01:13.551
It's a great way to stay up to date with

00:01:13.551 --> 00:01:15.967
everything you care about while you're on the go

00:01:15.967 --> 00:01:17.051
