Twitter question

Quote:
Twitter is a public messaging forum. You can send a direct private message to someone, but generally, you post stuff you want all your followers to read. You get people to follow you in several ways:

You can directly tell them- Follow me @EyeWryte. Then, someone can go to Twitter, search for me and click the follow button.
You can add hashtags (as outlined above). People with the same interests will see your Tweets and decide if they want to follow you.
You can also get followers from the people you follow. If someone else follows that same person, and they are interested in what you Tweet, they can then follow you.

You don't have to accept every follow you get. I always check out the person, and if it looks like just an advertising thing, I block. I also do not follow back everyone who is following me. (so-hint- if you decide to follow me, and want me to follow you back, let me know who you are, if it isn't obvious!)

You can be as actvie or as quiet as you like. I'm not really active, but I follow favorite chefs, authors, friends, family etc.

I followed you too.
All you have to do is go to twitter, and where it asks: What's Happening, type in a message 140 characters or less. Everyone who follows you will read it.

ETA: I just tweeted @ you.

I just made a tweet I hope,, I had put stuff up there before but didn't where it went or whatever,, but that was months ago when I opened it

 

[WriterofWords]

Ok,,, now how do you do it from your phone? I got your reply on my phone, so I replied from my phone,, but how do you originate from the phone?

I don't know what phone you use.

If you're on android or iPhone, you can use an app. Just search in your appstore for Twitter and it'll offer you a choice of clients. Seesmic is good. There's also an official Twitter app. Pick one, set it up, and use that. It's the easiest way.
